From Cafe to Compost ♻️ Did you know that our coffee grounds and food waste is collected weekly by a dedicated Friends of Broomfield Park team. Our waste is stockpiled in the black bin until needed to make up a new compost heap. The different sized heaps are at various stages of maturity. They were created from meadow hay, weeds, wetlands reeds and coffee grounds. Having a mixture of materials is key and our coffee grounds are a great additive; seems to attracts thousands of worms. It takes between 6 and 12 months for a new heap to turn into usable compost. Finished compost (blue pallet bay) gets used across the park in raised beds, for mulching trees etc. How brilliant is that?! ♻️💚
