Event: The Life of Soil
Place: The Regent’s Park Allotment Garden, NW1 4NR 10:30 – 13:00
Another great workshop lead by Paul Sadler from Capital Growth educating us on the importance of good soil. It makes sense that in order to be able to grow good vegetables you need good soil! The session will cover how soil works, ways to feed soil, composting, using green manures and looking after wormeries. It’s aimed at schools to help them to grow better fruit and vegetables but it sounds like a great workshop for anyone interested in growing their own food and I can confirm it is open for anyone to attend.
