Compost, Teas & Mulches!

Join us for an afternoon of getting down and dirty - talking about compost, mulches and compost teas.

Join Abi from Propagate for this 3 hour workshop digging into the world of compost. Using Lothlorien's composting system as an example we'll explore microbes, fermentations, what makes 'good' compost and more.
We'll learn about living mulches, green manures and cover crops - how to build natural fertility by building soil functions. And we'll make some compost teas and bio-amendments, looking at recipes that boost beneficial microbes.

Sound like your cup of (compost) tea?

About Lothlorien
Lothlorien is a therapeutic residential community owned by the Rokpa Trust. We are set amongst 17 acres of tranquil woodlands, gardens, and meadows near Corsock village in rural Dumfries and Galloway. Two residential buildings nestle within our site, including an original log cabin built in 1974 from locally hewn larch and pine. Among the rustic outbuildings, you'll find a workshop, gym, TV room, music room, and a meditation room overlooking a serene pond. The bountiful vegetable gardens feature polytunnels, glasshouses, raised beds, a large composting area, and an old orchard, all providing our community with nearly year-round sustenance. Meandering paths, lined with hedges and willow, wind through the landscape, offering a peaceful retreat in harmony with nature.
