Join Michael Kennard from Brighton’s Compost Club for a deep dive into the world of soil life and effective composting.

We’ll be covering the soil food web and all the microorganisms that do the following:

• Naturally cycle nutrients.
• Build soil structure.
• Naturally suppress weeds, diseases and pests.

We’ll touch on how the soil microbiome can influence the food we eat and therefore our own health, as well as it’s potential to sequester carbon.

There will be examples of effective composting methods, discussing pros and cons in different situations and how you can design the right composting system for you.

In the afternoon we will build a compost bay together so that you can go away with practical knowledge.

There will be loads of time throughout the day for your questions as well.

The aim is to get you started or up skill your composting and deepen our understanding of the diverse ecosystem that is our soil, to lead us into a regenerative future.

If coming from far away, why not stay over in a Wakelyns Ley Alley Pod.
