Turn waste into abundance.
Healthy, living soil is the foundation of every productive garden. We build compost systems, teach the fundamentals and set your soil up to get better every year.
01Compost systems
We design compost systems that fit your garden and your household — from simple hot-composting bays to layered worm bins and integrated in-bed composting. The goal is the same: turn waste into wealth.
02Compost box construction
Purpose-built compost boxes in timber, brick or repurposed materials, sized to your household's weekly waste and finished neatly enough to sit proudly in the garden.
03Soil building
Great gardens grow great soil first. We layer compost, mulch and mineral amendments so that your beds get richer, deeper and more water-holding season by season.
- 01
Greens & browns
Balance nitrogen-rich kitchen scraps with carbon-rich leaves, cardboard and straw.
- 02
Air & moisture
Turn or aerate weekly and keep the pile as damp as a wrung-out sponge.
- 03
Feed the soil
Top-dress beds with mature compost every season — never dig it in deeply.
- 04
Mulch on top
Finish with a thick mulch to protect the biology from Cape Town's sun and wind.
