Last week we were very excited to get a new composting system.
A huge THANK YOU to Auckland Council for helping to finance this and to Carbon Cycle Compost for the awesome product!
This compost system will allow us to:
* Create compost faster
* Have a predator-free compost area
* Compost our weeds and those annoying small sticks we always find around!
Carbon Cycle Compost got all the students involved in helping to build the compost boxes.
The students said:
"It was tricky to get the level (of the wood) just right"
" It was so fun using the tools to make the boxes"
" The wood smells nice"
" We learnt how to prepare it like a sandwich with layers of greens and browns"" Microscopic bugs help break down all the food scraps"
 |
| We need... one bucket of greens and one bucket of browns... |
 |
| We also need water and the 4th ingredient... air! This helps the 'FBI' (fungi, bacteria and invertebrates) break it all down |
