Farm composting pilot & market-garden setup – Queenstown Lakes / Central Otago

Turn your farm’s own organic waste into compost, and find out if it pays before you invest. I run small, monitored composting pilots on your property using your own manure, bedding and residues. You get a clear record of what went in, what it cost in time and labour, and what came out. How it works Free site walk and feedstock check: what you have, where a pile can safely go (clear of waterways and drinking-water wells), and what the regional rules allow. 8–12 week pilot with logged temperature, moisture and maturity checks. Quality checks before use, including a plant-growth test for herbicide residues, so nothing goes onto your vegetables or gardens untested. A small plot or bed trial against your current practice. A plain go/no-go on the numbers. If it stacks up, I can help plan a market garden fed by your own compost. Good fit for: stations and farms with manure, bedding or shed waste; orchard, vineyard and lifestyle blocks; anyone wanting to grow vegetables locally. Background: I ran Worm.ae, a composting and vermiculture operation in Abu Dhabi, and I’m now studying a Master of Agribusiness at Massey. This is a pilot service, so I’ll measure results rather than promise them. Terms: fixed fee per stage, or a working partnership where you provide the land, feedstock and some machinery time. Message me to arrange the site walk. Available from November to March.
