Derek Ashby has been working in the home and landscape build industry for many years, focusing on builds that use sustainable and recycled materials. In this workshop we will look at a variety of different materials you can use in your garden, as well as examples of recycled products and where best to get organic soil supplies. We will also discuss natural pest control and fertilising, getting your garden off to a most sustainable start.
