Old Homestead Community Garden Compost Update

Heidi — Tue, 11 May 2010 09:51:24 +0000

Saturday's turnout at the garden was the best in a long while, and we achieved heaps. (2 in fact.) Nine adults plus children and a mulcher meant we now have a new compost pile, and the best of the compost from the "old" heap has been turned, covered, and is just maturing to perfection over the next few weeks.

Whaingaroa/Raglan Seed Bank

Kia Ora all. There is now a seed bank at the Environment Centre in the Town Hall building. Most seeds are held in bulk so the cost is minimal. Bring little bags for any seed you need. You can purchase just a few seeds if that's all you need, or a few hundred grams for larger areas. All is by koha. Most are from Kings Seeds with some from Koanga Gardens, various other seed savers, and some locally sourced. It is my aim to move toward communal local seed production and acclimatising different varieties to our local climate.
