Our aim is to promote well-being by connecting people and plants through gardening. We grow organic fruit, vegetables and flowers. Each volunteer brings a different expertise to the project. We garden to lunar cycles, save seeds, make our own compost, construct window boxes, brew worm tea for plant feed, create floral arrangements, keep rabbits and bees, maintain an orchard at Edgbaston Reservoir and make our own compost. How we make our compost: The compost consists of left over food scraps, coffee grounds from Urban Coffee. The organic matter is partially broken down by red wiggler worms and left to break down further in a tumbler. After 12 days the compost is ready to be moved to a bin where it will continue to decompose for 6 weeks. Then we move it to the last bin for 3 months. After this stage the food waste turns into high quality compost for your garden.
