Held at our Learning Centre in Melbourne, participants in this workshop will enjoy both discussion and hands-on learning opportunities led by expert gardener Pete Huff. Composting is a key garden activity, but one that is very often done incorrectly. When the right techniques are incorporated the results should be rich, friable compost that enhances the vegetable garden and makes full use of kitchen and garden waste. No-dig beds use a similar concept of layering wet with dry materials, with the end result being beautifully productive planting beds that can be created in gardens small or large, and in the school or home garden.
