Composting

The best type of compost system can be purpose-designed plastic containers or metal bins, because they reduce the potential for harbouring rodents.

Compost containers are available from the Toowoomba Region Environment Council shop at Laurel Bank Hall in Hill Street.

Council also has pamphlets that can help you design your own compost system. Here are a few tips to get you started.

waterwisegarden You can still have a glorious garden by being WaterWise - simply by reducing your lawn and being clever about watering your plants.

Our Toowoomba nursery staff have great information on WaterWise gardening and suitable plant species for your area.

Not all WaterWise plants are natives. You can plant both native and exotic plants in your garden and still achieve a Carnival-standard garden by clever planting. Check below in related documents for suggestions in our Planting Guide for Waterwise Gardeners.
Always check the current water restrictions to find out what form of watering is permitted, and times allowed for watering your garden in the Toowoomba bulk water supply area.
