Composting on the frontier

In Chippo we have public compost bins on our road gardens.

 

Friday and Saturday nights – pub nights – sometimes bring the urban galah, alcohol and our bins together.  About a month ago an urban galah or two tipped over two bins and damaged them.

Michael with two heavy duty tapes screwed around the bins – sorry about the poor photo in the poor evening light

Today, a new gardener who’s just moved into Myrtle Street, Michael, worked with me to strap up the bins by screwing heavy duty tape with self-tapping screws into the bins.

 

Our newly-straightlaced bins have been set to work again this evening, ready for more food waste to go into them.

 

Great to see a new gardening face on our streets – thank you, Michael
