As part of Composting Week UK 2024 Young Growers Club will be hosting a composting and soil focused event for families.
The foundations for successful food growing begin with healthy soil. When starting a food growing journey we must first understand soil and how we can take care of it. At this hands-on event the young growers will learn about healthy soil, about how to build a composter and will have a chance to prep a no-dig bed.
The event will be run by food growing educator Laura Mathurin…
And will be structured like this:
2:00 - Arrival
2:10 - Introduction to healthy soil
2:30 - Building a composter
3:00 - Prepping a no-dig bed
3:15 - Time to ask questions / explore the garden
