Upper Hutt Food Week: Level Up Your Compost

Next date: Wednesday, 25 March 2026 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM

Is it okay to put citrus in your compost? How often should you turn your compost pile? Do you have to use a compost bin?

So many questions, so many options to start and maintain compost at home!

Join us for a free workshop with Derek Thomson from Tawai Park Community Garden and learn the ins and outs of composting.

Whether you're just getting started with composting or struggling with your worm farm, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and get valuable tips and tricks from an experienced local gardener and grower.
