Demonstration of how to hot compost

The compost crew at St Johns Riverside Community Garden will show you how to create hot compost. To prepare, they collect organic materials like grass clippings, autumn leaves, straw, garden prunings, food scraps, coffee grounds and animal manures and, each month, start a new one cubic metre compost build. With twice weekly turning of the pile, garden ready compost can be created in less than 30 days.
