How We Help
Creating circular food systems

we create circular food systems by transforming Food waste into living compost.
A circular food system mimics natural systems, so 'waste' doesn't exist but feeds the food system. Food 'waste' is transformed into compost to add microbiology, organic matter, and nutrients back into our depleted soils.
food waste collections
We provide buckets and bran flakes to break down your food waste via fermentation. We collect it every fortnight and give you fresh buckets and bran.

What happens next?
three-stage composting



1. fermentation
This stage uses bran flakes inoculated with effective microorganisms (EM) to ferment your food waste before it reaches us. This process introduces beneficial bacteria to break down your food waste and supercharge the composting process.
2. in-vessel composting
In-vessel composting units prevent pests, creating ideal composting conditions —plenty of air and high temperatures, even during cold winter nights. We mix your food waste with woodchip to add a source of carbon to our living compost.
3. compost maturation
The maturation stage allows for the compost pH to balance out and allows for additional beneficial microorganisms, such as worms, to come in and do their work. This process cuts composting time from over one year to around three months. Perfect!
living compost returned
We return your food waste to you every Spring as microbial-rich living compost to enrich your soil.​

What is living soil?
​​
One teaspoon of healthy living soil contains over ten billion microorganisms, such as beneficial bacteria, nematodes, protozoa, and fungi.
​
These microorganisms make up the soil food web and are responsible for 95% of our food. They extract minerals from sand, silt and clay particles, making them available to plants.
​
They also create structure, reduce compaction, hold the soil together, and create habitat and space for water absorption and retention, reducing flooding.​​​​​
