Kaicycle, a productive urban farm in Wellington.PHOTOS: CHARMIAN SMITHTucked away behind Wellington Hospital in Newtown is a section flush with growing vegetables and compost boxes arranged around the edges. This is Kaicycle’s urban farm and compost-making operation. Food scraps are supplemented by other urban waste such as shredded paper and arborists’ mulch, which provide the carbon component. Kaicycle and other urban farmers in the Wellington area and around the country are keen to share their knowledge and have created the Urban Farmers Alliance (urbanfarmersalliance.org.nz) to do so. We don’t want to do all the urban composting in Wellington," Levet said.
