Calling all dirt- and soil- worshippers, cultivators, regenerators, composters and mud-lovers!
Date: Saturday May 11 2019, 10 am to 4 pm. Put this not-to-missed event in your
2019 dairy now.
Narara Eco Living Network will present a fun and informative day dedicated to “dirt” (mainly soil!).
- A day that celebrates the vitality and importance of soil-the living carpet we take for
granted, totally rely on, and which we are losing much too fast! - A day of very practical information: soil science and analysis (testing and tasting!),
composting and worm farms, permaculture and regenerative agriculture, chemistry
and biology, and getting your hands into dirt.
Talks, demonstrations, hands-on experiences, and opportunities to talk with experts. Presenters include ABC television personalities Angus Stewart and Tino Carnevale, Simon Leake ( SESL, soils author), Prof. Mark Taylor (MacQuarie University), Peter Bacon (Woodlots and Wetlands), Permaculture experts and more.
Venues: Narara Valley High School and Narara Ecovillage, Narara, NSW 2250.
