Last week to get green cones at current price of $150!

We’re expecting a new shipment of our beloved green cone food digesters in shortly. Due to the increased cost of shipping and of the products themselves, we will need to raise the price of them slightly.

Earth Machines back in stock — get them for $89.95 until May 9th

April 30, 2015


After a bit of a wait (so hard when it’s spring and everyone is thinking about compost!) we are pleased to have Earth Machine composters back in stock.  We have been carrying these composters for 15 years now and we love their rodent resistance, the fact that they’re made in Canada from post-consumer recycled plastic and above all, the beautiful soil they produce.

While we plan to keep carrying our beloved Earth Machines, we unfortunately need to raise the price due to the increased cost of plastic and shipping rates.  As of May 10th, the price will go up from $89.95 regular / $80.05 member to $99 regular / $89.10 member price.  You’ve still got a week and a half to snag one at the old price, so please do stop by and get a deal!

We value accessibility and never like to raise the price on any of our products, however, we do need to ensure that we are not losing money on the items we sell.  As always, the Compost Education Centre is a social enterprise and all profits from our products go to support our community education programs.  We appreciate your support!

Mason Bee Condos are in!

November 23, 2014


If you’re looking for a unique holiday gift for a friend or a way to attract native pollinators to your garden, check out these mason bee condos!   These beauties are handmade by Gord Hutchings of Hutchings Bee Service after years of research and design refinement by Gord and his father.  They are full of fantastic features like pull-out peekaboo trays to maximize bee health as well as giving you lots of chances to observe the bees.  We have them in stock now and are selling them for $35.

We also offer classes from Gord to teach you more about how to care for your mason bees, how to attract native pollinators to your garden and more!  Stay tuned for our 2015 workshop schedule for more details on our workshops.

If you’re excited to learn more about our wide variety of amazing native pollinators, Gord’s website is a wealth of information:  https://sites.google.com/site/hutchingsbeeservice/home
