Reuse the nutritional richness in kitchen waste for plants

Many of the nutrients plants need for growth can be found in everyday kitchen scraps. These goodies are reusable, but aren’t available to plants without transformation.

Transform kitchen waste into plant food

One way is with chickens. Feed them vegetable scraps and collect their poo to add as a nitrogen waste in your compost. This isn’t practical for many urban dwellers.

Another option is worm farming. Fed a strict vegetarian diet, red and tiger worms excrete castings as your reward. Worms, like chickens, need to be looked after, and collecting castings is tedious if you want to rescue the worms (otherwise they’ll perish in garden soil).

Nature offers a superior solution with compost microbes. Converting kitchen scraps this way rewards you with a nourishing soil improver.

Enrich the soil to feed your plants

Composting accelerates the way nature returns all the richness in fallen and dead organic matter to the soil. It utilises natural micro-organisms in many compost stages to transform organic waste into dark soil-like compost.

A well-made compost will:

• work like a slow-release fertiliser
• return organic matter to soil
• increase water retention in soil
• have probiotics to promote soil health
• help plant resist disease and pests
• give soil a good crumbly texture

Compost is nutrient-rich when made from nutritious kitchen scraps. Bioverter is an advanced compost bin that is designed to handle kitchen scraps as your main waste feed.
