Dr Compost’s free gardening workshop will give you the know how to turn your backyard into a productive local food hub.

Dr Compost's top tips come from 20+ years of growing and composting in our harsh climate. In this workshop you’ll learn:

how to build a raised bed to using mulch to conserve moisture in the soil
which vegetables grow best in the Queenstown Lakes district
when to plant for the best yields
how to grow from seed, transplant seedlings and stagger plantings to avoid gluts
all about the magic of compost to add life to your soil, increase its water holding capacity and feed your plants

You’ll leave inspired to start growing, and with the know how to turn your backyard into a productive local food hub.

The Dr Compost home-composting project is funded by Queenstown Lakes District Council and delivered by Wastebusters to reduce organic waste in landfill.
