Re: composting organic garden waste

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @nannyP. It's fantastic to see that you've shared your first post with us.

 

Horticulturist and community member @Noelle has shared this wonderful guide about How to make compost for your garden that you may find helpful. You can also find great tips in this guide about The recipe to nailing composting.

 

Let me mention @Noelle and @MitchellMc who may have suggestions to help answer your question. Just note that @MitchellMc will be back on the site on Friday.

 

Look forward to hearing more about your projects around the garden.

Re: composting organic garden waste

Welcome, @nannyP and many thanks for your question.

 

What type of garden waste are you looking to use the activator on? Adding Tumbleweed Premium Compost Accelerator to your compost bin will speed up the process of producing finished compost. However, if you have a bulk amount of green garden branches and clippings, it would be worth investing in a garden shredder. Shredding this green waste before adding it to the compost will take months off the process. You can also then easily dispose of any excess in your green council waste bin.  

 

I look forward to hearing more details on the type of organic waste you wish to compost. Please let me know if you have questions.
