Who is the tutorial for?

The tutorial is for residents of Hume City Council.

What is the tutorial about?

The tutorial is designed to give you a basic understanding of how to compost or wormfarm effectively. It does not go into the science of compost or any gardening information.

What do I need to do to get my discounted compost bin or wormfarm?

First off, you must be a resident of the Hume City Council.  Once you complete the quiz with a score of 100% (you can repeat the test straight away if you don't get 100%) you will be asked to register your name, address and e-mail and you will receive a confirmation e-mail with details on how to order your worm farm or compost bin. This e-mail will be valid for two months after which you will need to re-do the quiz. 

What if I fail the quiz?

You can attempt the quiz as many times as you need to pass, and you can return to the tutorial to find the answers.

Is anything else required of me if I "Join the Compost Revolution"?

The Compost Revolution is about building community capacity - we encourage everyone who registers to tick the box to "join the Compost Revolution". This does not mean you will be committed to anything, but you will be able to get more support and be invited to sustainable living events, festivals and workshops such as; organic gardening, home energy saving, keeping chooks and much more.

Can more than one person in my household do the tutorial?

Multiple people in a household can do the tutorial and quiz multiple times, however only one person in a household can register to receive a discounted compost bin or worm farm.

Can I do worm farming and composting?

Doing both at home can work well and you can complete both the compost and worm farming tutorial and quiz to learn how to do this. However, after you register you must choose to receive a discount on either a compost bin or a worm farm.  If you wish to purchase both product types, your local hardware store will be able to help you with the product not ordered through compost revolution.

I live in an apartment with no balcony or garden space what are my options?

You can worm farm in a garage or even a bathroom or kitchen. You will need to empty your worm liquid and solids occasionally and can give these to a neighbour or friend.  Alternatively you can give them to a community garden, school, or local environmental group. 

I don't need a new bin but I want to be part of the Compost Revolution, is this possible?

Yes, simply complete the quiz and register by ticking the box to receive Compost Revolution and Living for our Future updates, including events, festivals, forums and workshops.

I already know how to compost do I need to do the tutorial to get a free bin?

You don't need to do the tutorial but you do need to do the quiz to register for your compost bin or worm farm. The quiz is simple and quick and you can complete it at your own pace.
