ZooDoo Compost is a garden products and gifts shop at 2B Upper Main Drive, Kenepuru, Porirua, with its compost made from zoo waste. The business started in 1991 as Second Chance, turning Wellington Zoo waste into garden compost, and it now sells over 70 products and employs more than 60 people. The website says all profits go towards suicide prevention work, and that the purpose of the business is to provide work for people who have had mental health issues.
The shop sells bagged compost, mulch, peastraw, bark mulch, topsoil, sheep pellets, fertilisers, firewood and Tui products. Home delivery of bagged garden products is free in the Wellington area, including as far as Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast and the Hutt Valley. ZooDoo Gifts, mostly New Zealand made, can be added to a garden delivery or couriered nationwide. The website also says Labour Day weekend orders fill up fast, and that all products carry a money-back guarantee.
