Stacy Squires/Stuff Community gardens will use the compost made from packaging and other scraps. The compost collection point was set up this month, but Green Lane started as a community market, with local vendors who held a similar ethos. “It was born out of lockdown and, before we knew it, we had a market going.” Drawn together by common values, the market aimed to be as close to organic as possible, with reduced chemicals and plastic use. Murgatroyd said face-to-face accountability was also key. “From the waste providers, we know we’re getting high quality inputs for our compost, so we always get clean food scraps,” he said.
