I’m sharing some information about a free course organised by the Cala Collective 🌱🌿
———–
Hello! We’re organising this practical workshop on *Saturday 7 May* to restore and boost soil fertility, and on the same day we’ll be setting up the compost bin at the Alburquerque Community Centre.
Jonás Dallador, from the Extremadura Permaculture Centre ‘La Caraba’, will be coming to run a course in the morning on *Composting* and in the afternoon on *biopreparations*. They are free of charge. Here is all the information. If you’re interested, please sign up so that we can tailor the sessions to suit all participants.
