Mar Thurs 5th, 2026 Craig Castree on Permaculture and Composting

By February 22, 2026No Comments

After many requests for a follow up to Craig’s 2023 presentation, he is returning to our herb society with a new book and an old message; all good soil comes from 3 things – compost, compost, compost!  Craig is passionate about his composting and generosity with information and practical tips. This event is sure to please (again!).

PLUS – Craig has been asked to bring his books, if anyone would like to peruse and purchase.
Take a look at his website craigcastree.com.au to see more on Craig, his signature “RegenEdible Gardening” methodology and his books, like “Soil is not a Dirty Word”. What a great title!
