Composting your food scraps, grass and garden clippings can provide you with an excellent source of free garden food and soil improver.

As well as creating great fertiliser, composting reduces greenhouse gases, saves water and dramatically reduces your waste.

• Compost bin 220 litre: $63
• Compost mate (hand turner): $26

Composting and worm farms are a simple and easy way to turn kitchen and garden scraps into rich organic soil known as humus. Compost and worm castings make great fertilisers and soil conditioners. They add nutrients to the soil and worm farms generate a liquid fertiliser for plants.

A worm farm is a specialised composting container in which worms do much of the work. The container needs to have drainage holes, a lid to allow aeration and be located where it does not get too hot or too cold.

You can put in kitchen scraps, garden waste, paper, grass clippings, tea bags, coffee grinds; in fact just about anything that is organic.

At Edendale, we have several large worm farms for disposing of some of our waste and we breed worms which are available for sale.

• Worm farm: $88
• Worms 250g (1000 worms): $55 

Prior to purchase, please check to confirm availability of worms on 03 9433 3711.

We also sell some spare parts and benchtop waste caddies, come into The Shop at Edendale weekdays 10am to 4.30pm to see what we have.

Workshops about composting and worm farming are held throughout the year.

Queensland fruit fly is a native pest occurring throughout eastern Australia. The flies are attracted to ripening fruit so can cause serious damage to fruit trees. Find out more about Queensland fruit fly.

Home gardeners can manage Queensland fruit fly by monitoring its activity and using a range of control methods.

We are not able to supply Indian Myna Bird Traps any longer due to difficulties in supply. 

To help stop the invasive Indian Myna bird and reduce the impact Mynas have on the environment, you may be able to build your own trap or source one from an online supplier.

A Google search for 'Indian Myna Trap Suppliers' or 'Indian Myna Trap Plans' should produce a range of options available. You could also search for 'Pee Gee Traps' which is the style of trap we have previously sold at Edendale.

For more general information about this species and how to control them, visit the website of local community-based group The Yarra Indian Myna Action Group.
