Composting & Worms Workshop
July 27 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
$10 – $60
Composting and worm farming are great alternatives to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a compost bin or worm farm you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Compost and worm ‘castings’ are both ideal natural fertiliser for your garden.
Our Composting and Worms Workshop covers the following topics:

- How to use compost, worm castings & ‘worm juice’ on your garden
- The vital role of organic matter & humus in your soil
- Outlining the human health problems associated with using synthetic fertilisers on your edible gardens
- Answers to the most common problems with worm farms
