"The green waste that you collect around your garden gets picked up and then it goes off, gets sorted and then it gets windrowed and composted to Australian standards and then it's available for reuse,"she said.
"We get an evening out of the temperatures, water saving and weed suppression."
"[Instead] using urban green waste as a closed loop system in terms of taking waste away from households and reusing and repurposing it out on farms."
"Our knowledge increases greatly and your decision making, the day to day work in the vineyard, benefits I think."
"Small increments in grape quality may not be compensated for by what we may need to pay for the compost to be put out."
