Grow Your Food… HEALTHY, HAPPY, & HUGE with the MAGIC of Vermicast!!
This Advanced Workshop will cover a mix of theory and hands-on instruction where you will learn about a variety of Worm Farm Designs including in-ground and home-made containers. We will also look at a number of farming techniques, how to assess health and take remedial actions when required to keep your worms happy, and ensure they create amazing Vermicast for you.
You will see real-life Worm Farms in action - both small and large scale, on-site in the beautifully healthy and productive Taste Nature Market Garden. Rodney will be available to answer questions about his methods and the role vermicast plays in this garden, and we will demonstrate the various vermicast applications we like to use.
You will also make a microbe-rich Vermicast Extract to take home - for use in propagation, garden beds, orchards, lawns and even across paddocks!
Comprehensive notes supplied
THE $15 CASH PAYMENT IS TO BE MADE ON THE DAY, AT THE GATE

Nature intends to re-use all available resources, not to waste them! Learn some great approaches you can use at home, work, or school, to turn leftover kitchen wastes into microbe-rich, healing vermicast to feed your soil and produce healthy nutritious food for your family.
It all begins with a change of perspective - all those organics from the kitchen we have thought of as wastes, are actually great resources for the Worm Farm.
Build your soil health
Improve your current Worm Farming method or pick up the skills needed to start a new Farm at home, work or school. You’ll be rewarded with top quality vermicast and the ability to build and restore the health of your soil.
