We’ve put together the print poster for the upcoming Compost & Compost Tea workshop with Paul Taylor and myself. If you’re lucky you might just spy this poster around the traps.

This course is going to be outstanding, so don’t miss the opportunity to talk all things compost & compost tea, including the very first demonstration of the keyline plow injection system for compost tea. A while back I published the development of this system and there has been huge interest across the country prompting me to create mach II which features a much larger capacity compost tank and simplified plumbing. Don’t miss it.

Also look out for the poster in the upcoming April edition of the Australian Organic Producer Magazine. This course is rapidly taking bookings, so if you’re interested in going, you’re best to Book Now or you might miss out.

Don’t forget you can book this course with the Keyline & Carbon Farming workshop for discount. There are very limited places left in that course also. Also, if you click on the poster there is a larger version, so feel free to print this out and slick it up your rebellious teenager’s bedroom wall!

Paul Taylor

We’re very pleased to present the Fusion Farms Compost & Compost Tea Course with Paul Taylor coming up in May 2010. A practical workshop on how to hydrate, enhance and heal your soils by understanding the soil food web and how to make biologically active Aerated Compost Tea.

As many of you have been following the developing of the compost tea and keyline injection rig developed here on Taranaki Farm, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to attend this very special workshop with both Paul Taylor and Ben Falloon.

Compost Tea Injection

Besides the wealth of experience and information Paul brings to this very popular workshop, you’ll benefit from the opportunity to see the innovative tea inject rig at work. During this course, we’ll be brewing inoculate compost tea before injecting it directly into the soil via the keyline plow. This new system of repairing degraded soils has been described as a pivotal moment in the history of agriculture.

This workshop focuses on taking the mystery out of the complex science of the soil microbiology while providing common-sense solutions to improving soils and reducing input costs. Paul is a former SFI advisor and the director of Trust Nature Pty Ltd. Paul’s practice, grounded in Permaculture principles and comprehensive earthworks for improved water management, has led him to co-consulting with world-renowned Permaculture designer Geoff Lawton on projects in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

This course will benefit a broad range of individuals including backyard urban gardeners through to broad-acre farmers and permaculture practitioners in general. During this comprehensive course we’ll be discussing many of the applications compost and compost teas have in restoring soil and land health.
