In Australia, we are gradually building our knowledge of composting and how we can best use compost instead of relying on chemical based fertilisers.

Composting is a great way to restored nutrients and recycle waste. On-farm composting is becoming more and more popular.

Here are a few steps to make your kitchen more sustainable. By being more sustainable in your kitchen, often also means you'll see the savings in energy use and have less wastage - an added bonus to minimising your impact on the planet and living more sustainably.

Plants can only obtain their nutrients from the soil in which they live in. Therefore the soil that the plant has fixed itself to becomes a source of its food and crucial to its performance and survival.
A basic, good soil is one that is rich in both organic matter and has a balanced and abundance of soil life, including fungi, worms, bacteria, nematodes, micro-anthropods, protozoa and others.
 

Soil health has benefits to plants and humans. The discovery of the benefits of a healthy soil and maintaining the balance of health in soil are becoming more and more important to horticulturalists. We rely on the soil that feeds us and it is imperative that we have an understanding of how it thrives, survives - from the structural to the microbial level - and produces the food that we need.
