Reminder - Composting workshop this Saturday 28th August!

Wednesday, 25 August 2010 09:06 Written by Paul Davis

Just a quick reminder about the composting workshop taking place this Saturday 28th August at the Faggs Road allotments. It's all well and good growing good produce in the first year but the key skill is to keep the soil alive and full of nutrients for the following year. Learning to create good compost is the main part of this strategy so please come along to learn how!

 

Subject: At this time of year replenishing the soil, depleted of nutrients by this years crop, with well rotted compost is essential. This workshop will explain the theory behind composting – aeration, materials, heat retention, layering, turning etc – and practically demonstrate how to build a compost heap from scratch.

Guest speaker: Richard Wallis, experienced composter and composting consultant.

Date: 28th August 

Time: 10:30 to 12:30

 Venue: Faggs Road allotments, Feltham - www.hcfa.org.uk/faggs-road-site

 Cost:£3 entrance fee

 We look forward to seeing you there.
