Discover the biotreasure in your own trash, or the power of composting

Until recently, only a small group of garden allotment enthusiasts were familiar with composting. But it slowly begins to catch on all over the world – quite right, too! Valuable “bio” waste should be collected in every household, and the lucky ones can start composting themselves. What does it involve? Composting is simply mimicking nature which decomposes all organic matter, both animal and plant, into basic elements. This ingenious solution makes way for new life, and at the same time provides it with nutrients. Did you know that there are millions of micro and macroorganisms living in the soil fertilized with compost? Moreover, plants fuelled with compost are stronger and more nutritious for us to eat. And the final wow-argument: composting helps protect climate and prevent its change. How is this possible? During the workshop you will hear the tale of the power of composting, and you will learn how to begin an adventure of your lives. Composting is easy, you just need to learn a few rules of the successful decomposition of organic matter. You will meet perfect assistants in the composting process, and even take them home straight away, if you want!
