Biodynamic composting - Afternoon workshop
This afternoon workshop from 1-3.30 pm, held in beautiful biodynamic gardens of the workshop presenter, Peter Kearney, will provide you with a unique opportunity to understand how to make compost using biodynamic methods.
Its a hands-on workshop where we make a compost heap, use finished compost in our food gardens for planting and also turn it into liquid fertiliser.
You will understand all the key ingredients of the compost heap and where to get them, how to put them together, how biodynamic compost preparations guide the quality of the compost heap and its balance of minerals and life, how to manage the compost heap which does not need to be turned to finish off and how to be strategic about when to make your compost.
Our aim is to build a community of composters from the workshop and we facilitate connections between participants at the workshop and when its finished.
The workshop presenter, Peter Kearney has worked with this composting method for over 20 years and has successfully grown seasonal vegetables, herbs and fruits in the Brisbane climate for 21 years using organic and biodynamic methods. Peter has run organic and biodynamic workshops around Australia for 10 years.
Participant numbers are limited to 20 people A herb tea will be provided during the question and answer session. Workshop price is $50. Book early.
