Compost Making and Worm Farms [Golden Valley]
2026-04-12 10:00 - 14:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
Instead of buying compost, mulch and fertilisers for your garden, why not learn the joys of composting and make this wonderful soil conditioner yourself?

One annual mulch of compost is all you need to maintain a productive garden, and it couldn’t be easier!

Stop throwing away kitchen scraps into landfill and learn how easy it is to add them to a worm farm or sealed compost bin, without the risk of attracting mice or rats.

I will help you plan your composting set-up and we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of hot composting, cold composting, composting with chooks and how to source a good balance of compost materials.

We will build a new heap with a range of materials, turn a week old heap, check out my leaf mould, and discuss how to solve any problems in the composting process as they come up.

We will feed and water my worm farm and I’ll show you how to keep your worms healthy and productive.

2026-04-25 09:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Brisbane)
Join Eco-Flat Brisbane creator Gav Hardy for a fun and informative day to learn how to fashion an abundant balcony garden brimming with herbs and veggies. In this two-part workshop we’ll drill down into design, soils, and the best herbs and veggies to grow. And Gav will trouble-shoot your challenges with growing plants in containers.

This workshop is for anyone who lives in a flat, apartment or townhouse in the greater Brisbane area. The session is split into two parts – Soils and Plants, followed by Design. Part 1 – Design. In the morning you will learn how to apply a permaculture design to your own balcony. We’ll explore orientation and aspect, balustrade types, container design, and working with sun, wind and water.

Part 2 – Soils and Plants.After lunch we will get our hands in soil, look at commercial potting mixes and learn how to make compost in an apartment (yes, it can be done!). Plus, we will dive into Gav’s top balcony edibles for Brisbane. And we’ll explore remedies to common plant pests and diseases.
