Soils and Composting Workshop - Toora
Sunny October 4th - Details and link to book below ☺️🌱

Join me at our new permaculture property in Toora, South Gippsland for a hands-on workshop building a hot compost heap, an in-depth look into a healthy soil ecology and different types of soils plus alternative ways to compost!

Nothing better than building a giant hot compost pile as a group! Working together, learning together, it’s always fun.
We will discuss different types of composting, soils and how we can amend our soils, keeping them healthy and thriving.
I’ll show you how we intend to look after our soils here, not only in the veggie garden but for our fruit trees and native plant areas too.
We will discuss different manures also, cow, chook, horse, sheep - How and when to use them.

I like to make sure everyone can be present and enjoying themselves so I will have comprehensive notes for each attendee to take home but please feel free to bring a notepad and pen if you’d like to take extra notes.
All attendees will also take some seed mixes home - green manure mixes for different seasons.

I’ll provide light refreshments but please bring your water bottles, hats, gardening gloves and sturdy shoes are a must - if you would prefer to wear a mask while handling soils, composts and manures, please bring one with you.
We will go ahead in sun or rain but I will postpone if weather is unsafe, please check your emails on the morning of the event.
Address and all the details will be emailed to each attendee a few days before the event, looking forward to seeing you!
Warmly, Jane

My August newsletter has just left the building!
So much has happened, but excitingly today, we planted one of my apple trees.
Geeveston F***y - beautiful apple that crops bi-annually (it’s on M9 rootstock, I go into a bit more detail in my newsletter), sweet and delicious!
This year is likely to be a non-fruiting year but we have plenty of other fruits to keep us busy including mature apple trees we inherited here at our new place in South Gippsland 🥰

Enjoyed the sunshine, we both got stuck into outside work and got a lot done.
My Excalibur dehydrator finally arrived, I cannot wait to get started on slicing our abundance of oranges 🍊

Next workshop announcement coming soon:

Thank you to the lovely humans who joined me today in Toora, for the seed raising workshop!
It was such a lovely afternoon talking about everything seed and we got stuck into other topics too.

It was great to see you go home with what will be lots of beautiful home grown heirloom produce, which you you will be able to always save seed from now 🥰
Tomatoes, eggplants, capsicum, beans, zucchini, pumpkin …
We also planted Comfrey and Cosmos, with Buckwheat to take home.

We were all really engaged so I forgot to take photos! 🤭
I only have this one … haha! The before 🌱🌱

Buckwheat is one of my fave flowers and can’t wait until mine are in flower.
I went a bit overboard when I planted the seeds but I’ll be chopping and dropping about 80% of them before they flower for the soil 🌱🌿

This photo was taken at Belgrave Food Garden after I sowed seeds there and they really helped bring in the beneficial insects but many were chopped up to break down in the soil 🥰

Fabulous green manure crop but also beneficial insects attract and let’s not forget, the beauty of them makes us feel good and that’s really important too 🩵

Overjoyed to find the bulk of my seed stash!
I’ve been putting together seed packs for this Saturdays workshop and finally found the box with the majority of my seed collection 🙏😍

How many bean varieties can you name from this photo?
I adore beans for their taste and versatility but it’s mainly because they are so beautiful 🥰
