What’s NEW this week?
TANZO Apples have grapes this week. Their very popular and delicious black muscat grapes arrive at he market for the first time this week. So if you enjoy the sweetness of a real grape then don’t miss out on these ones.
COMPOST – (delayed for another 2 weeks – no February release as per the post yesterday) yes real locally produced compost so good for your garden. Hamish Brace from SORT Recycling who on 2nd and 9th March ONLY is bringing locally made 20kg bags of compost, in recycled bags. He is happy to make arrangements for larger supplies for real enthusiasts. This compost is made from waste from Stone and Wood’s brewing process. It is mostly yeast water wastes and sawdust that is converted to premium compost. The photo attached above is the compost steaming December.
