Paint our Vermicompost System with us!
Would you like to learn how to make a continuous flow vermiculture compost system?
Vermiculture is a sustainable and efficient method of composting with earthworms that can be done in small spaces and has a wide range of benefits. It is a great option for those who want to reduce their waste and improve soil health.
We’ll teach you all the ins and outs of this composting system as we paint it with a weatherproof material.
The system will then be used in Lauriston Farm’s Community Allotments to transform their organic matter waste into nutrient rich fertiliser!
Led by Roxy (Rhyze Mushrooms) and Emma (Lauriston Farm), this workshop will take place in Lauriston Farm’s Market Garden over four hours, with a lunch break in the middle.
Please:
- bring a packed lunch (we’ll provide tea, coffee and biscuits)
- wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on
