Worm-Compost for Natives and other Plants

Presenter: Christel Mathelot

Worm-Compost is a low physical human input, nutrient dense, microbially rich compost which mimics nature. It requires no turning, only layering with a variety of organic ingredients.

Come along and join us for a hands-on workshop where we will set up some Worm-Compost beds for Trillion Trees to manage their organic waste.

In this workshop you will learn:

1. What is living soil?

2. What is living water?

3. What are the benefits of Worm-Compost?

4. What is the difference between worm-casting leachate (wee), worm-casting extract and worm-casting slurry?

5. How to make compost designed for specific plants: natives, food crops and fruit trees.

Trillion Trees would like to thank Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council who are funding this project.

What to Bring:

Garden gloves, hat, water bottle, closed shoes and preferably wear pants.
