Great composting effort from Danks St Depot
Nice work by the team at Sydney restaurant Danks St Depot. Keep an eye on their information page:
What's involved? Its a really simple process, but it takes a little discipline because you need to make sure that the compost doesn't get too wet or too dry, and is very easy - all of our staff have embraced (not literally) the compost bin. Using a mixture of our restaurant's and the art complex's green waste (basically, anything that comes from the ground including onion skin, coffee grounds, citrus but no meat or dairy), scrunched up newspaper, dockets, paper napkins and cardboard along with a few handfuls of hay to control moisture, we've managed to harvest enough soil to grow herbs, interesting plants such as stevia, lemon and lime verbena, lemon grass, lilly pilly and tomatoes.

Bakery makes a huge contribution, and shares results and information
"the environment and sustainable business growth as the primary issue for business and community into the future. We see an opportunity to not only reduce our own environmental footprint but to help create an infectious awareness in our stakeholders about how they too can help improve the world we live in. Most importantly for us though...it feels good to do the right thing and it's good for the business as well."
Great information on their Greenhouse Challenge web pages, backed up by measurable results.
