Composting 101: Turning Scraps into Garden Gold

From Markus Spiske
From Markus Spiske

Healthy plants start with healthy soil. Because sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Semaphore Hill Community Garden, turning once-discarded kitchen scraps into "discarded gold" reduces waste in local landfills while creating nutrient-rich food for our organic garden beds.


We encourage all members to use the shared composting bays


Not sure what counts as "green" vs "brown" waste?
Keep an eye on our Events page for our next "Composting for Beginners" workshop!


By using organic practices, we ensure that Semaphore Hill remains a vibrant, biodiverse ecosystem for generations to come.
