A free talk on composting will be given at the Goulburn Mulwaree Library. As winter approaches, many people think about cleaning up the garden and preparing their garden beds for spring. Compost is a great way to improve soil structure and moisture absorption, as well as adding high quality carbon and essential nutrients for healthy plant growth. ALSO READ: Goulburn Mulwaree Council Composting Officer Sam Morris will speak about the benefits of compost and help you learn everything you need to know about this black gold. The talk will provide information on how to start making your own compost, what to put (and not) into your compost heap or green bins, how to test when your compost is ready, and how to fix common compost problems. Sam will also talk about the highlights of making the council’s own compost using your trash. The local council recently launched organic compost for sale to the community, which was a huge success. This product is also used by workers in council parks and gardens as well as in CBD gardens. The talk starts on May 7th at 12.30pm at the Goulburn Mulwaree Library.
