Building Living Soil: Composting with Science

Join us for a journey beneath the surface as we explore the hidden, living ecosystem in soil.

Delve into the science with Caroline to discover the microbial magic of the soil food web and how it supports plant and human health.

Put theory into practice with Mieke as she unpacks composting basics you can immediately use to start building healthy, living soil yourself.

This talk is for those starting out or wanting to deepen their garden knowledge. Part of the Centuria Garden Festival Mitre 10 Speaker Series with Dr Caroline Gottfert & Mieke Verschoor
