There will be a free talk on composting hosted at the Goulburn Mulwaree Library on Friday 7 May at 12.30pm.
Winter is approaching and many people are starting to think about tidying up the garden and preparing their garden beds for spring. Composting is a great way to improve the structure of the soil and increase moisture absorption. It also introduces quality carbon and essential nutrients into the soil for healthy plant growth.
Composting Officer Sam Morris from Goulburn Mulwaree Council will be speaking at the Library about the benefits of compost and will help you learn everything you need to know about this black gold.
The talk will include information on how to get started creating your own compost, what to include (and not include) in your compost heap or green bin, how to test when your compost is ready to use, and how to fix common compost problems. Sam will also talk about the highlights of creating Council’s own compost using your household green waste!
Council recently launched an organic compost for sale to the community, which has been a huge success. This product is also being used by staff at Council’s parks and gardens, and in CBD gardens.
The session is free, but bookings are essential and can be made online at https://www.trybooking.com/BOXPI, in person at the Library, or by calling on (02) 4823 4435.
