A Big Hot Heap

How do we turn the Farm’s green waste into microbial gold? Please join us for this free, practical and hands-on workshop on how to make hot compost using our mini-Indore method. It’s a pretty simple recipe that allows us to:

·      process all our end-of-growing-season organic matter (plus weeds)

·      join the circular economy and

·      regenerate our soil.

Voted #1 by all the fruit and veg plants at the Farm!

Plus we’ll also be demonstrating microbiological brewing and making biochar.
