All About Compost (Bees to a Flower) + Field Food Meal with Michael Kennard

Join Michael Kennard from Brighton’s Compost Club for a deep dive into the world of soil life and effective composting.

We’ll be covering the soil food web and all the microorganisms that do the following:

• Naturally cycle nutrients.
• Build soil structure.
• Naturally suppress weeds, diseases, and pests.

We’ll touch on how the soil microbiome can influence the food we eat and therefore our own health, as well as its potential to sequester carbon.

There will be examples of effective composting methods, discussing pros and cons in different situations and how you can design the right composting system for you.

In the afternoon we will build a compost bay together so that you can go away with practical knowledge, learn about food and have the option to enjoy a meal made by FieldFoodCo then  finish with a fire, and jam into the evening. 

The aim is to get you started or upskill your composting and deepen our understanding of the diverse ecosystem that is our soil, to lead us into a regenerative future.

Things to bring:
Potluck meal to share
An instrument of your liking
Your insatiable curiosity
