I knew this already after organising many compost give aways over the last few years, but PEOPLE LOVE COMPOST!

Friday was the first day we gave away our campus processed compost

Here you can see some happy compost-ateers loading their bags up with the help of Paul.

It was really good to be able to give people compost for free as everyone seemed so passionate about it! We had about 20 visitors…and cleared about a half of compost!!…

All of the compost is produced by collecting the food waste from kitchens and commmon rooms across the campus. All of your banana peels, tea bags and sarnies get turned into compost by the Rocket composter.

One part of Paul’s job is to look after the Rocket and here we see him making some adjustments.

As long as staff and students want the material this offer will continue!

At the moment we have about 3/4 tonne of good/excellent grade compost left. I will update the grade of compost each week on the order form:

PS
I remember when my Dad used to take me to see Newcastle United, when i was very young and hearing about compost for the first time.

The police would be on horse back and you would see people putting the manure straight into bags and when I asked my Dad what they were doing it for, he told me about compost and growing leeks. I remember thinking they must really like growing leeks to put horse manure on it!
