Kimbriki Composting and Worms Workshop

Did you realise that when food scraps are sent to landfill, they decompose and produce methane, a greenhouse gas with more than 20 times the global warming capacity of carbon dioxide? Food scraps in landfill also produce an organic leachate which is polluting to groundwater.

While Kimbriki does not receive food waste, the team at the Eco house & Garden are passionate about educating our community on how they can remove organic food waste from the waste stream through composting and worm farms.

Join our ecologists at one of our upcoming Composting and Worms workshop to learn how composting and worms farms can turn household food scraps into a rich and nutrient packed by-product that you can use to improve the health of your garden through improving the nutrient, water capacity and carbon levels in the soil.

This 3-hour workshop is perfect for those wanting to learn about worm farming or composting, or for anyone  who needs a refresher or has a redundant compost or worm farm that they would like to set up again.

It follows a practical and informative format that caters for all ages and levels of knowledge.  Families are welcome to join in this workshop, so register today and join in the fun.

What will participants learn and what skills will be gained?

• An understanding of ecological and permaculture principles.
• An understanding of the ADAM principles and their application to composting and worm farming.
• How to set up a compost system, how to operate it, how to use finished compost.
• How to set up a worm farm, operate it, change it over and use worm castings.
