International Day of Zero Waste

Your kitchen scraps want to be soil. 🌱 It's the International Day of Zero Waste, and if you're growing food at home, you're already ahead. Every peel, stem, and coffee ground can go back into the garden instead of landfill. Composting doesn't need to be complicated. A small bin on the balcony or a pile in the corner of the yard -- that's all it takes. Feed your soil, and your soil feeds you. Here are three easy wins: - Start a compost bin with food scraps and dry leaves. - Use worm farms for small spaces (they're quiet neighbours). - Mulch with cardboard or newspaper to suppress weeds and hold moisture. Growing your own food is one of the simplest ways to reduce waste. What's your best zero-waste garden hack? Tell us below.

The average Australian household sends 300kg of food waste to landfill every year. What if yours didn't? ♻️ This International Day of Zero Waste, we're making the case for the simplest closed-loop system on earth: grow food, eat food, compost scraps, grow more food. You don't need fancy equipment. A basic compost bin or a small worm farm turns your kitchen waste into the best fertiliser your garden has ever had. For free. Not sure where to start? - Compost bin: food scraps + dry leaves + time = black gold - Worm farm: perfect for small spaces, odour-free, incredibly efficient - Bokashi bin: ferments scraps fast, great for apartments What's your composting setup?

Banana peel. Egg shell. Coffee grounds. These aren't rubbish. They're future tomatoes. 🍅 It's the International Day of Zero Waste, and we think every home grower should know this: the food scraps you throw away are the best thing you could be giving your garden. Composting closes the loop. You grow food, you eat food, you compost the bits you don't eat, and your garden turns it all into more food. It's beautifully simple. And it doesn't matter how much space you have: 🏡 Backyard? Compost pile or tumbler. 🏢 Apartment? Worm farm or bokashi bin. 🌿 Balcony? Even a small bucket system works. Tag someone who needs to start composting. They'll thank you later (and so will their garden).
