This 'Compost Science' workshop, run by Sustainable Gardening Australia (SGA) will take you a step deeper into the world of composting! This workshop discusses the alchemy behind making compost, aka ‘black gold’, and will provide you with the knowledge to set up a compost bin that not only works but is super productive. Great for beginner composters or those who are ready to take this gardening skill to the next level.
The session will go over the basics of composting ingredients and approaches and will then discuss in detail cold and hot composting techniques, the carbon to nitrogen ratio, and how to adjust the ingredients in your compost to ensure maximum efficiency.
Why Attend?
We want to show you that we are listening. During our recent Food Forum, we discovered that you want more education about healthy food choices and fair access to nutritious food sources. We also know that the cost of living is putting significant strain on many across our community and through the Let's Grow Hume project, we want to help you keep healthy food on your plate at home, despite increased costs of fresh, healthy food from the shops. Previously you've told us that these type of programs help you feel connected and engaged with your community, and you enjoy meeting like-minded people.
And if you aren't quite ready to register - it gets better. By attending any of the workshops you can also register to receive a free ‘Ready to Grow’ kit, so that you have everything you need to continue your edible gardening journey at home.
