Learn to start, maintain, and use to full benefit a worm bin. See how we feed our worms, harvest the castings. and even make a fabulous worm tea for use as a supplemental fertilizer. Participants will build and take home a worm bin, complete with starter worms!
To grow great vegetables and plants life begins in the Compost pile, where a lot of miraculous things are going on to make beautiful dirt.
Soil depletion is major issue that is plaguing today’s agriculture society, we are loosing soil through wind, water erosion and over-farming. The time has come to learn the art of creating soil.
You will also have exposure to our Vericompost (composting using worms), where this system creates power packed fertilizer while having low impact on the environment and perfect PH for growing food. You will learn how we incorporate this into our fields and greenhouses while maintaining high fertility and other ammendments are necessary.

Balancing your body's PH - Intro to Juicing
All food we ingest influences our body’s pH level and many people nowadays suffer from over-acidification in their body, also known as acidosis which can lead to many life threatning diseases. While focusing on juicing, we provide you with knowledge and inspiration to achieve higher levels of well-being by introducing juicing into your daily diet.
This is a hands on class will provides participants with the knowledge of juicing and its extreme benefits. We will discuss cleanses to rejuvenate the body and mind and discuss transformations not only on a physical level but clarity mentally. You will discover that Juicing is like having your own culinary crayon box and the canvas is yours to colour.
For those who wish to try juicing at home, we will also talk about the
different options in masticating juicers.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
