Gardening Australia Waste Not, Want Not

🌱 The Addison Road Community Center in Marysville is home to organizations like Bauer and Reverse Garbage that are dedicated to saving and recycling items that would otherwise go to landfill.

🔄 Hobo Grow, a community composting enterprise, collects waste from the community, composts it, and sells it back to the community.

💰 The Hobo Grow composting project uses waste materials and items that have been thrown out for free, resulting in minimal expenses.

🌳 Hobo Grow sources all the ingredients for their compost locally, including green waste from the community market, kitchen waste from the community, and coffee grounds from local coffee makers.

♻️ Hobo Grow uses a unique composting technique that combines nitrogen and carbon, puts it through mulching, and uses black soldier fly larvae to speed up the composting process.

⏳ The composting process at Hobo Grow takes a few weeks to break down, resulting in high-quality compost ready for sale.

🌱 Hobo Grow sells their compost in recycled containers, including bottles from the local brewery, and even offers specialty compost with different types of worms interbreeding.
