Composting is good for the environment, and saves you money 

  • Why buy fertiliser when you can make your own?

  • Make use of your kitchen scraps and divert them from landfill

  • No need for harsh, chemical fertilisers

  • Composting helps with water retention, saving you money on your water bill

  • Enjoy a healthier garden and a bounty of fresh produce

Two ways to get involved – online and workshop

Learn to compost at home, in your own home, at a time that suits you.

By taking the Scraps to Soil online composting tutorial you’re eligible for a compost bin and aerator for just $20 – that’s less than half the recommended retail price. (Hurry - this offer is only available while stocks last).

The process is simple:

  1. Enter your address and follow the prompts, including credit card payment for your compost bin and aerator.

  2. Watch the video tutorial, which runs for 4 minutes.

3. Take the short quiz which will ensure you’ve learned all you need to start composting at home.

4. Print your receipt and take it to our Taree, Forster or Gloucester customer service centre to collect your dome compost bin and aerator.
