Home composting for beginners workshop Sunday 1 November 2020, 10am – 12 noon

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Making compost is about disposing of the inputs (organic garden and kitchen ‘waste’) and using the valuable output (compost). Ideally both.

If you’ve been having problems with your compost this workshop is for you. Learn how to dispose of your kitchen and garden waste more quickly and produce compost more efficiently. Troubleshoot common problems and watch a compost heap being made. Bring sun hat / rainwear / warm clothing for the conditions as we’ll be outside some of the time. Wear flat, covered shoes. Please arrive at the centre 15 minutes before the start to allow yourself time to park and get settled in. Please enter through the front entrance on Karamu Road and sign in at reception. We’ll start on time so if you arrive late and the door is locked, please ring the bell.

Although this workshop is free thanks to sponsorship from Hastings District Council, please register via Eventfinda to secure your place, but only if you are definitely going to attend.

Meet Rachel

I'm an enthusiastic gardener who loves eating things I've grown. Initally I grew and sold boxes of homegrown produce. When I couldn't satisfy the demand, I started teaching my customers how to grow their own. I teach, write, sew and cook. I'm also catching up on learning to play piano. More...
