What’s it all about?
Ever wanted to:
- cut the cost of your grocery bill?
- become more self-sufficient?
- have more input / control of what you eat?
- make an edible weed salad?
- host a foraging expedition?
- avoid pesticides?
- contribute to sustainability?
- learn about worms?
Thought you couldn’t because you, your best mate, his sister, a drum kit and your two cats share a bedsit in a high-rise apartment block in the middle of the city?
THINK AGAIN!
What will we cover?
In less time than it takes to watch a movie, we are going to smash through some simple, succinct and practical ‘how-to’s. This will focus on growing, finding, sharing and fertilising your own food in small spaces, apartments, urban dwellings and communities.
**Please note this class is aimed at inner-city dwellers and folk with small growing spaces, this is NOT a full gardening / veggie patch / farming class though if that’s your interest you are still most welcome to attend**
We will begin with enough basic information to get you started on your grow-know:
- what to grow in containers and how
- sprouting, why and how
- equipment, start-up costs and requirements: how to make and source your own
- more resources than you could poke a garden stake at
- photos, videos and real-life examples
- basic weed identification and where to go for more info (like how to use/cook)
- urban foraging and foraging etiquette
And if we get time, some more challenging skills like:
- small worm farms and bench top composts
- seed saving
