Biodynamic Composting: Turn Waste into Gold

It is good to convert organic waste material into compost, but it is best if the components come from your own land. Learn the steps necessary for making great compost, without losing valuable nutrients. Using the biodynamic compost preparations in it will make it even more healing. This workshop will offer both theory and practice.
