One Day Practical Biofertiliser & Fermenting Course

A one day course with Juanfran Lopez

7th January 2019   9.30 - 4.30pm

A chance to learn how to regenerate farm and garden systems using home produced Biofertiliser, Native micro organisms, Aerobic and Anaerobic compost teas. 

Over the course of the day we will be collecting native microbes to make cheap but effective natural fertilisers and tonics for the plant and soil. 

The day will be practically orientated although there will be a chance to discuss and learn some principles, objectives and strategies of Regenerative Agriculture.

By the end of the day you will have the practical knowledge to make your own preparations at home, and a ‘starter kit’ of resources to take home with you including a fresh and mature batch of native microbes and biofertiliser for diluted use. 

"Good mix between technical and practical, science and simple!"

Juanfran Lopez has studied with the Columbian Jairo Restrepo, one of the leading teachers of microbial preparations for healthy biological systems. Juanfran has also travelled through South America, Africa and Spain specializing in regenerative agriculture, learning and teaching as he travels. He was based at Ragmans researching and running trials on our orchards and garden.  Analysis and discussion of these trials will also be available on the course.

Who should attend: Gardeners and small scale growers and farmers.

 "I have a good basis now on how to and what use can be applied. Excited to try"

"Great all round picture of soil biology to support understanding of practices"

"Great environment with practical demonstrations, as well as academic. Enjoyed it and learnt loads"

"Can't wait to get started" 

 Tea and coffee included, please bring a packed lunch
