Come and join our Farm Net Zero team and the Tregovenek Community Farm team and learn wormery composting tips from an expert.
Ben Bryant from Sustainable South Hams will be delivering the workshop and has a wealth of experience in composting, soil regeneration and the sustainable use of earth resources.
This is a free two hour workshop on vermiculture and vermicompost to include practical experience of setting up a tiered wormery and a DIY option.
There will be plenty of theory on the benefits of vermicompost and everything you need to know about the worms and the system to set up a successful wormery in your garden.
Whether you have previous knowledge or not, come along to learn more.
Please wear clothing and footwear which is suitable for the weather conditions and rough ground. The garden is working towards being wheelchair accessible but currently attendees will need to be able to walk on uneven ground.
Tea and coffee will be provided but you are asked to bring a travel mug with you as the farm have limited catering supplies. Facilities are a basic with a composting loo.
