Sarah and Declan have been on their property for 5 years in which time they have developed a 40-tree orchard, 600sqm vegetable garden that feeds them and a few friends all year round and also small scale livestock. They have operated organically and have been practising the Demeter biodynamic method and applying 500 for the last year.
At this introductory field day you will hear about plant feeding within nature, soil cultivation to improve soil structure, green manures, humus formation and microbial activity, biodynamic plant expression and use of the biodynamic sprays, including how to store, stir and apply the preps at the most beneficial time. Stirring and storage equipment will be demonstrated and available for sale on the day.
This field day is aimed at small growers and gardeners.
Time: 9.30am arrival for a 10.00am start, finish around 3.30pm (set aside the full day in order to meet the practical requirements for membership of BDGA)
BYO: chair, mug (tea/coffee provided), a plate of food for a shared lunch, work boots, wet weather gear (just in case) and a good garden fork for compost building!
