"From Little Things Big Things Grow - Tomatoes!"



When some students took a quick look in Bluey’s Patch, (while observing ‘social distancing’) they were amazed to find that tomatoes of different kinds, had sprung up in the Wicking Beds! They are a result of the Compost created by the Crunch & Sip scraps, which was placed on the beds, last Term!

If you would like to create your own Compost, at home, this is what can be added to the Bin or Bay:

*Vegetable or food scraps
* Vegetable oil
* Prunings and lawn clippings
*Tea bags and coffee grounds
*Vacuum dust
*Shredded paper and cardboard
*Used potting mix
*Eggs shells
*Flowers

What not to add in your compost bin/bay:
Meat and bones, dairy products, diseased plants, metals, plastic and glass, animal manures, fat, magazines, large branches, weeds that have seeds or underground stems, sawdust from treated timber, pet droppings, synthetic chemicals.
