The Compost on the Farm project is for you.

Landcare, in conjuction with ANL, NSW EPA and MRA Consulting, is holding a series of workshops in the Central Tablelands/Upper Lachlan area to promote using compost in grazing and cropping systems. The workshops will provide opportunities for you to discuss the benefits of compost with specialists, compost producers, rural advisors and other farmers.

All your questions answered 
The opportunity has come to make the use of compost a normal and regular practice in grazing and cropping systems. The science is in, the cost-benefits are in and there is plenty of high quality, high performing compost available and much more to come in the next few years.

Free compost 
A small trial sized amount of compost will be provided free. In addition each farmer attending will have the opportunity to purchase and apply compost at a discounted rate.

On-Farm support and advice

Better still every landholder coming along is able to participate in a free compost trial on their farm (1 ha with 5T compost) and will have access to some good discounts on further compost purchased through the program.  
 
Morning tea and lunch will be provided - please RSVP to mary@upperlachlanlandcare.org.au.
