That course on developing humus sounds pretty interesting to me, Deb. And I'm ashamed to say that I've always wondered what biodynamics was about, but have never had an opportunity to learn more about it.
So I'd be coming, except that that weekend I'll be down at the Lucindale Agricultural Field Days in the South-East of South Australia (talking to farmers about soil moisture and climate monitoring).
Please let us know if you run it again; both Claudia and I will come along.
I'm glad to see someone giving courses in gardening. More folk than ever will need those skills in difficult times, and those of us who've had real life experience will be in demand; that experience doesn't just turn up overnight.
Cheers for now
Andrew
