To encourage more people to use a compost, worm farm or bokashi at home, Nillumbik residents can receive a 50% discount on a composting product purchased from Edendale Farm.

While many of us already have access to a weekly green waste collection bin, processing your own food and garden waste at home has additional environmental benefits and will provide you with rich soil conditioners helping your garden to be healthier and more productive.

Visit the team at Edendale for all your composting and worm farming needs.

Why would I compost at home?

Processing some of your kitchen and garden waste at home means:

  • You have control of one of your home waste streams, delivering more direct and personal environmental and climate action.
  • You improve your connection with, and understanding of, the environment and natural systems that keep our planet healthy. A great thing for us, and our children. 
  • You produce nutrient and microbial rich soil conditioners (e.g. compost, worm casting and worm teas) to use in your garden, improving its health and productivity (better flowers, veggies and herbs).

Wherever you are on your composting or worm farming journey – whether you’re just starting out, have tried and failed, or you’ve been successful and want to learn more – there are resources at Edendale Farm and on our website to help you learn and improve your impact and outcomes.

What is the best system for me and how can I learn more?
