The seven compost bins in Peace Park have been sealed up as they are full and the mix of compost is causing cockroaches.

We’re removing the compost and will shortly put in some boric acid to kill the cockroaches.

When the cockies are gone we’ll restart the bins.

In the meantime Council is organising some community compost workshops to provide education and guidance on using the bins so we increase the level of understanding and improve the use of the bins.

I’ll provide more details soon.

The other seven bins in the streets continue to operate and are available for anyone to use.  There are about six of us who maintain those bins; if you’d like to help please contact me and we can welcome you to our road gardening and composting; we’ll show you how to compost and garden – all beginners very welcome.

May the compost be with us,

Michael
