    Workshop

Join Sue Mabberley, owner and Head Gardener at Nant-y-Bedd and learn the theory behind the process of successful compost making and different approaches including traditional bins and how to make a compost windrow.

Composting is a key element of organic growing. Transforming waste products from kitchen and garden into microbially active compost to enrich the soil is an immensely satisfying process.

Following a delicious two-course organic lunch, you will move into the garden to make a compost windrow and tour the garden to see composting in action – compost and leaf mould bins at different stages of the process, and in use in the garden and potting compost mixes.

Two-course organic lunch is included. Please bring sensible shoes and outdoor clothing.

All attendees will be given a free sachet of compost activator to get you started.
