Description

Feed The Soil is a programme where compost is made from food waste collected from households. By purchasing and using our Food Waste Kit, you actively form part of our new urban farming eco-system through growing community gardens – From paying forward your organic waste to buying fresh produce grown from it – it’s a sustainable circular eco-system.

After ordering your Organic Waste Kit, the online store manager will be in contact with you to arrange delivery to your home or collection from one of our our meeting spots in Constantia, Sea Point and City Bowl

Below are the FOUR current meeting spots (Look out for the Ladles truck):

    • Atlantic Seaboard (Wednesday 8:30am-12pm): Sea Point: Sunset Beach Parking Lot (Bottom of Queens Rd.)
    • City Bowl (Thursday 8:30am-12pm): Oranjezicht: Van Riebeek Park corner
    • Southern Suburbs (Tuesday 9am-12:30pm): Constantia Old Village Parking – Next to the Engen Garage
    • Ladles of Love HQ (Monday-Friday 9am-2pm): Unit 4, Hewett Park, 17 Hewett Avenue, Epping 2

Your Food Waste Tool Kit will include

  • 1 x 5L Kitchen Food Waste Bin
  • 1 x 25L Storage Bin
  • 1 x bag of Sawdust
  • 1 x bag of Bokashi

The Process

  • 5 litre bucket is the kitchen bucket – put this on your kitchen counter or under your sink.
  • 25 litre bucket is the storage bucket that can stay in your garage.
  • Before starting to deposit your organic/food waste into your 25 litre bucket, please throw your sawdust in first so that it sits at the base.
  • Seal the lid of your 25 litre container after each deposit from your 5 litre kitchen bucket.
  • Once your 25 litre bucket is full, throw a handful of bokashi on top and seal the lid shut.
  • DO NOT contaminate your waste with plastic, glass or metals.
