Compost Clinic: Making Gardeners’ Black Gold

Whether you compost with a heap, a bin, or a wormery, this practical Compost Awareness Week workshop lifts the lid on what’s really happening inside. Learn how everyday food and garden waste can be transformed into rich, crumbly “black gold” — the secret to healthy soil and thriving plants.

Join us for a hot drink while we explore the simple balance of ingredients, air, moisture, and time that makes compost work, and look closely at the extraordinary community of worms, insects, fungi, and microbes that do the hard work for us. You’ll leave with clear, confidence-boosting tips to improve your compost, reduce waste, and feed your garden naturally.
