Our journey to the compost education center
Stephanie, Megan (Stephanie’s lovely sister) and I journeyed to Greater Victoria’s Compost education center, where we learned all about the benefits and how-to’s of organic farming and composting.
We ventured around the block to our leader’s good friend Geoff Johnson’s digs, where upon we saw the largest suburban eco-garden we’ve ever laid eyes on. He has truly mastered the placement and management of organic and local plants.
Geoff applied every efficient and eco-friendly source we have learned about in sustainable thus far. We saw that he uses rainwater for irrigation in the front yard, as well as solar water heaters to heat a good amount of his household water uses. Geoff also applies drip irrigation to about 70% of his garden, cutting his water use to a great extent.
Over all, Geoff’s garden is the perfectmodel for the future of suburbia and many urban districts for Victoria.
