He’s back in town for one last Dr Compost workshop before winter! In just two hours, Hawea Flat’s very own Ben Elms will give you all the knowledge you need to successfully compost at home. Whether you’re a total novice or an experienced composter who wants to know more, you’ll be inspired. Learn how to make rich compost that you can use to feed your garden - and figure out which composting system(s) will suit you best: Bokashi buckets, traditional composting or a wormfarm. Comments from past attendees: “Excellent basic introduction to composting principles. Good sense of humour and obvious passion of presenter”.
“I had so many questions even after years of having a compost heap, this workshop taught me a lot.” “Feel like I have improved my knowledge at least 100%. Thanks Dr Compost!”
