Make Your Own Fertiliser

Go Eco are hosting a series of free gardening workshops this winter, and welcome beginners and experts to join us.

Fertility means fruitfulness. How can we maintain fruitfulness? In this workshop, we will talk about some of our common waste products and the fertility potential within them. When we buy fertilizer we have no control about what is being used to make it. Food waste, weeds, wood and animal manure are some of the more common materials that are freely available and can be made to good use in your garden. We will talk about several methods of making your own fertilizer using only what is available to you for free.

This is one in a series of Free Winter Gardening Workshops.
