Very informative I learned a lot. Ian is very helpful, whenever I have any questions he is always right there to answer and help in any way he can. My garden had never been as Lush and my vegetables and fruits were awesome last year. Highly recommend taking this course!” <br /> <br /> John M.- Thanks for the wonderful workshop today, Ian. I’m looking forward to trying out all the techniques you shared. The starter kits you have will be invaluable in doing this. It was great to see so many people out. I’d recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to learn more about creating healthy, living soil, and getting off the chemical fertilizer treadmill. <br /> <br /> Meleny C. I learnt so much invaluable information at the workshop today. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Ian <br /> <br /> One of the greatest benefits of creating living soil is that gardeners can quickly and easily make their own nutrient rich garden soil and fertilizing amendments instead of struggling with lifeless nutrient depleted soil and/or experiencing quality issues with commercially available compost and soils. <br /> <br /> You can’t grow healthy plants unless you create healthy soil, and that is not possible without a diverse and complex soil food web fed and sustained by regular applications of nutrient rich organic material over the entire length of the growing season. <br /> <br /> Living soil is garden soil super charged with a variety of organic inputs that have been cultured with specific beneficial soil organisms. <br /> <br /> These soil superheroes quickly transform organic material into plant nutrients and amazingly rich soil while suppressing diseases. <br /> <br /> They also produce growth hormones and other substances leading to exceptionally lush growth and exquisite flavor. <br /> <br /> Living soil has a diverse population of decomposing mushrooms and other soil life such as worms, actinomyces and beneficial bacteria working in harmony to rapidly transform organic wastes into plant food. This is known as nutrient cycling. <br /> <br /> The nutrient cycling in living soil reflects the nutrient cycling found in nature responsible for the incredible fertility found in undisturbed natural eco-systems. <br /> <br /> Living soil bokashi composting enhances the nutrient cycling processes found in nature because we can control the temperature and moisture levels and other variables that drive the progress of soil fertility. <br /> <br /> When you attend Our Workshop, I will show you how to use the following products you receive for free along with complete instructions on how to make more at home so you can start creating living soil earth magic in your own backyard. <br /> <br /> Living Soil Starter Pack Giveaway <br /> <br /> • 500ml of Our Living Soil Liquid Mother Culture $15 value <br /> <br /> • 3lt of ready to use wood pellet bokashi starter $15 value <br /> <br /> • 3lts of bokashi bran to culture at home $15 value <br /> <br /> • 1kg bokashi alfalfa fertilizer $ 6 value <br /> <br /> • 3 gallons living soil compost starter $15 value • <br /> <br /> 500ml Purple non sulphur bacteria root super charger liquid $15 value <br /> <br /> Total Value $81.00 <br /> <br /> Cost $65 per person <br /> <br /> Special Couples rate (2 people one living soil starter pack to be shared) $90 <br /> <br /> Pre-registration is requested <br /> <br /> Composting worms are available to pre-order for a special workshop discount. 3 gallons of worms, worm eggs and bedding are $25 regularly $35 <br /> <br /> The workshop starts with a brief discussion about how and why we created our living soil growing system; followed by a tour of the farm so you can see how we craft and use living soil to grow lush healthy plants. <br /> <br /> After the tour we will explore the following How to Topics with Demonstrations : <br /> <br /> • Understanding the living soil food web <br /> <br /> • Making 2 types of Bokashi compost starter <br /> <br /> • Making a bokashi composting bucket for under $20 <br /> <br /> • Bokashi composting food waste including meat, bones, and dairy <br /> <br /> • How to use food waste bokashi in living soil composting with actinomyces compost starter (supplied free in giveaway bundle) <br /> <br /> • Living soil composting in totes and container to prevent rodents and other pests <br /> <br /> • Living soil building during the gardening season <br /> <br /> • Culturing organic fertilizer and other organic inputs with living soil liquid to make living soil nutrient mulches and fertilizer teas to feed your soil over the course of the growing season to maximize plant growth, health, and flavour <br /> <br /> • Culturing woodchips with fungus, actinomyces and living soil liquid to quickly build a nutrient rich soil supporting a diverse food web <br /> <br /> • Worm composting with Living Soil Liquid, fresh manure, spoiled hay, food waste bokashi and other organic inputs <br /> <br /> • Culturing organic fertilizer and other organic inputs with living soil liquid to make living soil nutrient mulches and fertilizer teas <br /> <br /> • Using low cost living soil inputs in your garden for maximum plant growth and flavor <br /> <br /> Our Living soil bokashi composting techniques are a few simple steps that allow you to compost all food waste including meat, bones, and dairy. <br /> <br /> Bokashi composting is almost odor free and can be done in totes and buckets to prevent rodents from being attracted. <br /> <br /> You can even bokashi compost pet wastes in a separate bucket to fertilize nonfood plants. We’ll show you how to use simple and easy bokashi composting techniques to transform green waste into garden gold to establish, feed and sustain a robust living soil food web in your own backyard. <br /> <br /> Living soil composting is superior to conventional composting in many ways. Conventional composting relies on random putrefying bacteria with no specific benefits and the finished product has plant available nutrients but not much bioenergy left to feed a robust complex soil food web. <br /> <br /> Specific beneficial soil life organisms and decomposers are used in living soil composting. These amazing soil dwellers break down organic material into plant available nutrients, make natural plant growth hormones, suppress disease causing organisms and act as the base of a dynamic soil food web pyramid. <br /> <br /> Living soil composting can compost all types of food waste including meat dairy, fat and bones which are not recommended for conventional composting. <br /> <br /> Conventional composting can attract rats and other animals. Living soil composting can be done in totes or 5-gallon pails to prevent rodents and other creatures from getting into the compost. <br /> <br /> Happy Gardening <br /> <br /> Hope to see You at the workshop
