Lovely day for winter gardening: we took an electric barrow load of community compost for a ride along the river over to support our neighbours at Crossroads Community Garden in Footscray.

They immediately put it to good use!

Looking forward to a Spring garden refresh with the Davis Street Community Garden volunteers this afternoon! Lots of life in the garden, plants to harvest and replace, and a load of well-matured community compost ready to turn into the soil…

Our third weekly harvest of broad beans and these plants are still going strong. We planted out 3 #biofilta foodwall tubs and they are super productive!

We are growing a garden for wildlife, which already attracts butterflies, lacewings, geckos, and more! Thanks to TreeProject (www.treeproject.org.au) for donating locally indigenous plant species, including:
- Acacias
- Banksias
- Native Indigo
- Kangaroo Apples

3 Nov will be our last Wildlife Gardening session for 2024 before it gets too hot. Gardeners are also welcome to take seedlings for their own plantings.

The sensory garden group at Kensington Neighborhood Centre say: “Thanks Kensington Compost Hub for the compost that's getting our lettuce seedlings off to a good start.”

Our absolute pleasure to support local gardeners and growers!

Delivering finished community compost to our “Stationeers” - volunteers who plant and maintain green spaces around Kensington Station for the benefit of everyone in the neighbourhood. Great to collaborate with such a welcoming and inclusive group of people working hard to improve our common spaces

Urban Community Composting Netzwerktreffen 16.09.2024 18-19 Uhr Online über Zoom

Busy day yesterday at our monthly Wildlife Gardening Working Bee - mulching and planting and coffee in the Spring sunshine.

We have put out a variety of indigenous habitat plants: grasses, ground covers, and climbing plants along the fence line. Great work and massive thanks to our community volunteers for working to make a difference, and to create habitat for biodiversity in our urban environment!

A lovely mild Winter’s morning to enjoy #CoffeeAndCompost. Nice change after the cold rain and gusty wind… thankfully nothing appears to have blown away yesterday! We have finished #compost batches to screen, and new batches to turn.

Watching the piles of wood mulch quietly steaming at dawn. What a beautiful day to conserve some local nutrients and make a stack-ton of compost as a community…

Have an amazing week everyone!

Was braucht es, um gemeinschaftlich zu kompostieren? Zusammen mit zwei anderen europäischen Partner-Projekten hat BodenschätzeN Erfahrungen, Ideen und Faktoren des Gelingens gesammelt. Diese Ergebnisse wollen wir mit euch teilen und diskutieren. Wir freuen uns darauf, eure Erfahrungen kennenzulernen und eure Anliegen zu besprechen!

Great work by our volunteer wildlife gardeners revegetating a monoculture lawn.

We planted Knobby Club-rush (Ficinia nodosa), Blue Tussock-grass (Poa poiformis), Magenta Stork's-bill (Pelargonium rodneyanum) and Small-leaved Clematis (Clematis microphylla).

Just a reminder about our Wildlife Gardening working bee tomorrow at #KensingtonTownHallCompostHub, 11am - 12pm!

You can let us know on Facebook if you are planning on joining us: https://www.facebook.com/share/thHtVDdHBnGy5zTB/?mibextid=9l3rBW

Remember to bring your gardening gloves, drink bottle, hat and sunglasses, and also a respirator mask if you are sensitive to the risks of moving and spreading mulch.

This Sunday we will be working on developing our indigenous habitat garden at #KensingtonTownHallCompostHub

https://www.facebook.com/share/nQ6cXePgsh9PCH7g/

Join us for mulching, soil preparation, planting and propagation to create habitat for beneficial native species!

Tiny bluebells and long grass stems, growing in front of some large community compost bays

We salvaged a fence being demolished nearby to send to landfill. The project is converting this to a vermin-proof hot composting station to expand capacity for processing organics.

Right now, carefully de-nailing by hand to make the materials safe to handle and store at our open-access compost hub, and putting steel aside for recycling.

Sunday is plant and seedlings sales day at #KensingtonTownHallCompostHub from 11am

Today we have succulents, canna lilies, and seasonal veggie seedlings including beetroot, kohlrabi, and broad beans.

All funds raised go to keeping the compost hub operating!
