Great to have a visit from the staff of St Mary’s Primary School, Orange, on World Environment Day!

The team spent the day learning about their Mercy heritage and mission which is so aligned with the message of Pope Francis to care for our common home.

Thanks for visiting Blayney Eco Hub on such a wintry day!

Something great coming up in Bathurst for all those looking to improve their composting skills…

For Green Drinks this month we are Introducing Dr Ernie Harbott from Compost Culture! Ernie was destined to be a professional composter, but her hobby as a composter was always taking up all her focus. After earning a PhD in Biogeochemistry (about the closest things to a doctorate in composting you can get, it’s all about the microbes) she kicked around as a teacher, here and abroad, mostly preaching environment and sustainability. Why you should invest in compost and understanding what is required for thriving compost including:
What you need to start composting
Four basic requirements
Carbon:Nitrogen ratio and demystifying "browns" and "greens“
The role plant roots can play
Time/Maturity
Dr Ernie will happily field all you composting queries.
