The basics
There are a variety of options for composting.
Popular options you could consider are: compost
bin, bokashi bin or worm farm. You can buy these
from hardware stores or make your own.
Greens and browns
Each compost method will require a different
composition of greens and browns. These are:
Why compost
Almost 50% of household rubbish to landfill is
organic waste – this is food waste, lawn clippings
and garden waste.
wildlife such as spotless crake, New Zealand
dabchick and North Island fernbird have been quick to colonise or visit the
wetlands.
Ecological features
Vegetation
Flora species naturally found in the covenants include: raupo (Typha orientalis),
lacebark (Hoheria sexstylosa), carex spp, swamp coprosma (coprosma
tenuicaulis), New Zealand fuchsia (Fuchsia excorticate), and pohuehue
(Muehlenbeckia australis).
Both native and introduced vegetation species have been planted at this site to
enhance
effluent to be managed as part of
the farm dairy effluent system.
Many farmers will need to change or upgrade their systems. In
terms of pond lining, existing clay-lined systems are expected
to meet the standard and the existing oxidation pond storage
system is expected to provide sufficient storage for a land
based discharge system in most cases.
Approximately 995 farms currently discharge dairy effluent to
water only or have dual water-land systems, while the
boundary of the coastal marine area in the case where the line of mean high
water springs crosses a river shall be whichever is the lesser of -
(i) one kilometre upstream from the mouth of the river; or
(ii) the point upstream that is calculated by multiplying the width of the river mouth by 5.

during construction activities. The influence that aquifer properties
below 2 metres have on groundwater velocities is uncertain, in terms of over and/or under
estimating velocities. For the current groundwater velocity calculations, the aquifer properties were
estimated as ‘Silty Clay’, with an effective soil porosity of 0.01 or 1% to the base of the aquifer
(McWorter and Sunada 1977).
