From bowls to brocolli Jess Barnes

Gardener and composting queen Jess Barnes is helping transform the neglected bowling club in Porirua into an urban vegetable garden. The produce from the garden is used in community cooking classes run by Wellfed. She also runs the business Sunshine In A Bottle in Titahi Bay, where she collects household food scraps to turn into compost. Jess tells Kathryn that while the Covid 19 restrictions have put a stop to collections, she's encouraging everyone she can to use the lockdown period to start their own home compost.
