Why is improving soil health climate adaptation? Improved soil health creates a healthy environment for growing plants and natural resilience to protect against pests and diseases. Healthy soil also has plenty of organic matter and a good structure for retaining thousands of gallons of water—reducing runoff in times of flood and preserving more water for times of drought. And , living roots in healthy soil hold the topsoil in place, preventing it from eroding during heavy rains.
Workshop Description:
Learn the art and science of how to team with worms and microbes to turn waste into rich organic topsoil - the cornerstone of organic gardening and ultimately human health.
The session includes all theory you'll need to deal with most common problems, and then hands-on demonstrations on compost making, and how to set up and maintain a worm farm.
This event is part of National Sustainability Festival 2025.
We acknowledge that the lands we meet and work on across so called Victoria are stolen from First Nations people. There can be no climate justice without justice for First Nations communities everywhere. Solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people under settler colonialism in so called Australia is critical in the fight for liberation from all oppressive systems that devalue and exploit people and the environment.
