Two afternoons of discovery

Workshop 1:  Know Your Soil – Discover its gifts, shortcomings and challenges too! Do some areas of your garden flourish, and others falter? This workshop will help you understand why.  We’ll do some hands-on tests to assess your soil functioning – such as its structure, level of organic matter and ability to drain and hold water; learn how to test for pH and adjust your soil to suit your plant’s needs;  discover who is living beneath your feet and how this soil life is pivotal to the health and abundance of your crops!

Workshop 2: Heal Your Soil – Learn about a range of proven organic tools/ techniques you can use at home to create deep, friable soil full of life! We will cover the benefits of organic soil applications from rock dust fertilisers to effective micro-organisms. Try out a broad fork – you’ll be amazed at how easily it creates an open soil structure - and learn about key organic soil management tools such as green manuring and crop rotation.

It is well understood that nutritious, sustainable food can only be produced from a healthy, fully functioning organic soil.  Come join me and other like-minded people for a fun session of learning and return home with some great skills and inspiration to start transforming your soil!
