Regenerative Compost Building Workshop
REGENERATIVE COMPOST BUILDING
Regenerative Compost Building is a 2 day workshop for 5-10 participants. The workshop is held on site at the farmer collective growing areas. Designed for individual farmers and group leaders to attend together. Lisa Matthews has a background in biology and studied soil microbiology in USA. She has been building regenerative compost on Back Bay Estate for 7 years. Contact Lisa via whatsapp to discuss a workshop for your group +62 8116010004; or email lisa@lisaandleosorganic.com
Crops need healthy soil microbes to increase their nutrient uptake ability. Once these microbes are growing in the regenerative compost, they will spread throughout the farm and create healthier crops, increase yields, reduce pests and disease for little cost compared to chemical inputs, herbicides and pesticides. Future proof your farm against extreme wet and dry weather patterns caused by climate change. Build regenerative microbe rich soil in your farm by learning to build the right kind of compost. Cost is 1 juta per person.
