On Friday 7 May at 12.30pm Goulburn Mulwaree Library will be hosting a free talk on composting.
As winter approaches many people start thinking about tidying up the garden and preparing their garden beds for spring. Compost is a great way to improve soil structure and moisture absorption, as well as introduce quality carbon and essential nutrients into the soil for healthy plant growth.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council's own Composting Officer Sam Morris 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 talk will begin at 12:30pm on Friday 7 May 2021, held in the Goulburn Mulwaree Library. 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.
