Composting Workshop

Waste becoming soil to grow food

We're a new non-profit based in Machynlleth, Powys running a full circular economy
bio-waste service, taking waste food and biodegradable materials and turning them
into soil nourishing compost for local organic food growing.

Criw Compostio will be running a composting workshop day on Saturday 16th November. The day will be based at Aber Food Surplus' new hub space at 5 Great Darkgate St and will involve a couple of site visits in Aberystwyth including the Plas Crug community allotment and the Ridan composter at Penparcau.

Booking is essential. Please email Lucy tyfuabergrow@gmail.com with your name and contact details.

The day is free. Please bring your own mug and a packed lunch. Refreshments will be provided during the day.
