Urban farm working tour at Sydney’s Sustainable House

This Saturday 1 December  -  come to Sydney’s Sustainable House for an urban farm working tour. Start 1130, finish 1230.

In the garden I will work with you and together we will

  • build a leaky drain – you’ll learn how to dig, install leaky drain
  • learn how to prune a fruit tree – how to espalier to make it fit a smaller space
  • learn how to manage compost bins – how to keep cockroaches away, how to get compost out and then to spread it without harming fruit trees
  • learn how to make a garden  self-nutrifying using a compost bin
  • learn how to identify and harvest your own food – from ‘weeds’ that aren’t weeds to unusual edible native plants and to commonly used herbs such as rosemary, lemon grass and more

Working tours are $15 each and entitle you to $10 off the price of either or both my books, Sustainable House, or Sustainable Food.

Group bookings 10 or more people to maximum of 25 people are $10 each.

The tour fee includes free samples of:  good compost; compost nutrients; lemon tea tree and lemon grass cordial + recipe.  Come dressed in working clothes and boots.

 

Take the first steps to making your own urban farm, cutting climate pollution and putting a song in your heart and being kind to our lovely Earth – see you there.  No bookings – just turn up at 58 Myrtle Street, Chippendale.

See you there,

Michael

    This sounds wonderful and timely. Next Xmas we could head to Parliament House in ACT and plant copious seeds of new and old ideas on that rising mouldering, mound…T
