• Types of heap structure
• Ingredients
• Placement
• Turning
• Problems & Monitoring
• Other Composting systems
• How to use the end product

Cost: Free

You will receive a discount voucher toward purchase of a composting system.

What to wear: Please wear clothes suitable for gardening and closed-toe shoes (eg. sneakers or gumboots), you may wish to bring your own gloves. We will provide all tools and will have gloves and gumboots you can use.
