SUMMARY:Home Composting Workshop [Hobart]
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to make your own compost? \n\n\n\nComposting at home is a great way to make your garden look great but its also of huge benefit to the environment. \n\n\n\nFood waste comprises nearly half of the rubbish in an average household rubbish bin and once in landfill\, food waste undergoes anaerobic decomposition and generates methane\, which is 28 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. \n\n\n\nBy composting your food waste and keeping it out of landfill you can instead turn it into nutrient-dense compost. Perfect for your veggie patch or community garden. \n\n\n\nIn this free workshop you’ll learn how to compost with: \n\n\n\n\nchickens\n\n\n\nsmall compost bins\n\n\n\nlarge compost bays and piles\n\n\n\ncompost worm farms\n\n\n\nand more.\n\n\n\n\nBook your ticket\n\n\n\nBook your ticket by visiting the Good Life Permaculture website. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will be run by Nadia Danti\, who is a professional market gardener and soil health expert who’s travelled the world working with some of the best growers out there. Nadia is passionate about composting\, soil health and understanding the ecosystem under our feet\, as well as supporting people to learn the simple yet magical ways of home composting. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is being run by Good Life Permaculture and supported by the City of Hobart through the Waste Education Program.
