At EcoMatters organic teaching garden, this hands-on composting workshop will be facilitated by Adam and organic garden co-ordinator Meg Liptrot, and offers an introduction to hot composting.Part one (Friday) will focus on gathering all the materials needed for a hot compost build, while Part two (Saturday) will concentrate on the actual building process. Don’t worry if you can only attend one session; we will cover all material in both sessions, so feel free to join either or both!
We will have a break for shared lunch – please bring a plant-based plate to share.
Hot-composting aims to decompose your garden waste and food scraps with minimal loss of nutrients whilst stimulating beneficial micro-organisms. When done right a hot-compost heap naturally builds up temperatures of around 60-70 degrees which will K*ll off pathogens and W**d seeds. A well-made compost boosts the health and life in your garden soil, and this helps to grow stronger and healthier plants.
What to wear: Clothes for gardening and sturdy, closed-toe shoes with grip (eg. sneakers or gumboots), gloves. Bring: a water bottle, raincoat.
Let’s get your compost cooking!
