Compost & Compost Tea workshop, Malanda

A workshop in the utilization of local “waste” in providing all the
required nutrients for productive systems, with Paul Taylor.

Properly made aerobic compost has thousands of bacterial and fungal species. Aerobic compost added to highly aerated water, held at a desired temperature, with the addition of microbe nutrients that feed and thus select the species of microbes desired for the conditions, makes a highly cultured “brew” full of beneficial fungi and bacteria to apply to the soil.
