Two weeks later the compost heap at Hereweka is ready to turn. I want to save it to use in our glasshouse. All the seaw**d we used will add extra nutritions for the tomato plants.

Our asparagus bed is benefiting from the extra seaw**d we collected for the compost heap. It benefits from some rich food and mulch at this time of year. The see w**d is perfect.

An organic compost heap, just about complete!
Hereweka Garden has grown from our passion for organic gardening—a passion that began more than 40 years ago. As students, we were members of the Compost Society in Dunedin, where we learned the value of creating healthy soil from natural ingredients.
That passion has stayed with us ever since. We take pride in our hot composting method, which is quick, effective, and surprisingly simple when you have the right mix of ingredients. There’s nothing more rewarding than turning garden waste into rich, living compost that feeds the soil and helps the garden thrive.
