NOW BOOKING: Vermicomposting workshop
We are running a workshop on Vermicomposting! Working with worms that quickly turn organic waste into fine compost allows the eco-gardener to intensify seasonal cultivation while replenishing and increasing soil fertility on an ongoing basis.
With Teresa Pereira of the Northern School of Permaculture.
The session runs from 10am to 1pm on Friday 4th October 2024 at the Friends of Waterloo Park, Waterloo Park Centre (Store Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, OL7 9QA).
This is a free session but due to limited places, pre-booking is essential: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vermicomposting-tickets-1014686844667
During this workshop we will build a worm tower to embed in a raised bed. Worm towers help with the self-fertilisation of a garden bed and gradually decrease the need for compost addition. They function as in situ composting accelerated by specific worms that quickly turn organic waste into nutrient rich compost.
Who is this event for?
People involved in community food growing projects in Tameside and beyond. This workshop will involve some light practical activity.
