A joint workshop with Transition Town Vincent and North Perth Community Garden

Please note the change of date for this event

Presenters: 

• Ian Kininmonth from Transition Town Vincent (TTV).
• Chris Watts from North Perth Community Garden (NPCG).

Biochar is a form of charcoal which can significantly improve your soil's physical, chemical and biological properties resulting in improved water holding capacity and healthier, more productive gardens.

Biochar has been used in the Transition Town Vincent's (TTV) community food forest planting at Britannia Reserve with impressive results.

Join Ian and Chris as they discuss:

• What is biochar: its features and benefits.
• How to make biochar.
  
• How to activate biochar.
  
• How to use biochar in the garden.

The workshop will involve demonstrations and establishment of a trial plot at the community garden.

Light refreshments will be supplied.
