During the summer months of 2011, the Earth Matters ECO Centre is offering valuable, accessible composting education to the community of Nelson. We will be “on location” at the weekly
Wednesday Baker Street Markets and Saturday Cottonwood Park Farmer’s Markets, and monthly Friday night Marketfests. Visit our booth and find out about how to start composting in your household. Have a problem with your compost? Ask our staff about tips and tricks to get your compost back to making soil rather than making a stink!
We also have some upcoming composting workshops:
Worm Composting Workshop:
OCTOBER 6th: Earth Matters is hosting a Indoor worm composting workshop and you’re invited!

Composting Products Available
We have a variety of composting products for sale at the ECO Centre. The sale of these items helps fund additional compost education for the community.
We are committed to providing practical solutions for indoor and outdoor composting. Choose from indoor bokashi kitchen composters, worm composting, tumbling composters and solar powered composting solutions.
Cone Solar Composter 
This is the simple natural way to deal with all your food wastes. No turning or regular
emptying; Solar energy and ventilation create an accelerated aerobic process. Effectively deals with food wastes of a family of four or five.
Bokashi Composter This small wonder was designed with smaller spaces in mind. This “hot pile” method uses a composting activator called Bokashi to ferment food scraps for indoor composting. Once fully fermented, it an then be buried outside for rich soil.
Worm Factory 360 Use this to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil. By using worms and the Worm Factory 360 you can now produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Use indoors or outdoors allowing for year round production. The ECO Centre sells composters and worms separately. Worms are sourced locally.
