Strike a better kind of black gold with Council’s free compost webinar

Published on 17 April 2025

Council is hosting a free online workshop on Thursday 8 May 2025 to help you make the most of your kitchen and garden waste. Join our expert hosts from Sustainable Gardening Australia from 6.30pm for an hour-long session on home composting, worm-farming, and bokashi.

The webinar will cover everything you need to know to get started and hit the ground running. Learn the basics of the composting process and how to introduce composting to your home and garden, with helpful hints and tips on how to tackle common compost problems and advice on how to handle our cooler climate.

There’s more than just composting on offer next month, with discussions on worm-farming in the home and its many benefits for your garden, and the chance to hear more about the bokashi fermented composting process for the more adventurous.

Spots are limited, so head to https://qrco.de/smrc-events today to book your ticket and avoid missing out on this great event.

Council is bringing this workshop to the region to help our community keep valuable renewable resources out of local landfills. Food waste and garden cuttings are a significant percentage of the waste thrown away each week in our red-lidded bins.

By keeping more of this organic material out of our bins, we’ll be extending the lifespan of local waste facilities, reducing landfill greenhouse gas emissions, and helping local gardens across the Snowy Monaro bloom brighter than ever.

Strike a better kind of black gold from the comfort of home this May thanks to Council and Sustainable Gardening Australia.
