Composting with Farmer Terry & Food Is Free Inc. for International Compost Awareness Week

Good soil is essential to healthy gardens…and healthy plants equals healthy humans. Composting our organic scraps is a great way to reduce your carbon emissions, build your soil health and is the absolute bedrock to a productive garden.

Join Food Is Free Inc. Volunteer Terry, our former long-time Compost King, who also happens to work with an emerging regenerative farm space called Sunnybank Farm. Terry knows a thing or two about composting. Both on a backyard garden level, and on a larger scale.

 

Terry will be teaching us:

  • why we compost,
  • what goes into your compost,
  • how to maintain your compost
  • and plenty of other helpful tips to a successful composting system.

New to composting and not sure how it works?? Terry will teach you the best skills you need and remove the guesswork for you.

He will also explain how composting can bring back life to dead soil and reduce the dependence on chemical inputs on a small and large scale including his experience from Sunnybank Farm.

Held on the first day of International Compost Awareness Week, what better way to spend an hour of your time on Sun 3 May from 2pm am discovering the joys of composting with the Food Is Free Inc. team at Food Is Free Green Space, 212 Ripon St Sth, Ballarat.
