Working Bee February 2013

Had a successful working bee, lunch and compost workshop on February 16th. Did a general clean up of the garden - weeding, clearing out rubbish, resetting steps and bricks - followed by a delicious lunch. Glenda Lindsay, the "Compost Queen" (plus 2012 City of Yarra Citizen of the Year no less), led a compost workshop telling us what should and shouldn't go in, how often to turn the compost (weekly), and how to know when it is ready (should look like soil - not smelly or too lumpy). Enquiries about joining the garden most welcome. There is still gardening space left!
