This free Dr Compost gardening workshop will take you through everything you need to know to get a veggie garden started and to maximise your harvest.
Dr Compost’s top tips come from 20+ years of growing and composting in our harsh climate. In this workshop you’ll learn:
– How to build a raised bed to using mulch to conserve moisture in the soil
– Which vegetables grow best in the Queenstown Lakes district
– When to plant for the best yields
– How to grow from seed, transplant seedlings and stagger plantings to avoid gluts
– All about the magic of compost to add life to your soil, increase its water-holding capacity and feeds your plants
Whether you are a seasoned green thumb or a gardening newbie – this workshop will have you inspired to start growing, and provide you with the know-how to turn your backyard into a productive local food hub.
The Dr Compost home-composting project is funded by Queenstown Lakes District Council and delivered by Wastebusters to reduce organic waste in landfill.
