Winter Vegetable Gardening with Dr Compost It’s lucky that Hawea’s Ben Elms is passionate about composting and vegetable gardening. As Dr Compost, he’s been running workshops in Wanaka and Queenstown for the last seven years, and is often asked for composting and gardening advice at parties or walking down the street. Next week Dr Compost is holding his last workshop before the winter, on vegetable gardening through the winter. “Jack Frost is a great equaliser, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a total beginner or an experienced gardener, come along and bring all your gardening questions,” says Ben. “We’ll look at which vegetables will survive the cold, when to plant and when to harvest.” The workshop will also cover mulching, planting green manures and
using cloches to extend the growing season. There’s nothing better for your veggie garden than a big dose of homemade compost. Dr Compost will also be demonstrating different methods of composting at the A&P show. The Wanaka Wastebusters website www. wanakawastebusters.co.nz also has lots of information to help work out which system will suit you. Composting reduces methane emissions from landfills and stops your rubbish bag from getting smelly. It’s easy to get started, with some help from the Dr. Winter Harvest vegetable gardening workshop - Tuesday 18th Feb, 6-8pm at Aspiring Beginnings, Warren St. Gold coin donation, funded by Queenstown Lakes District Council.
