Tim Weaver reviewed: Soil health and amendments with biofertilizers

"Whilst I knew a little bit about the microbes that inhabit the soil, I knew nothing about the soil amendments and fertilizers that can be made relatively easily and cheaply. Penni was a engaging tutor who explained how they are prepared and their benefits for plants and soil. I enjoyed the course and look forward to trying out some of the products that we learned about. I would recommend this course."

Cilrath Acre responded:

"Thank you so much for this lovely feedback, Tim. I'll pass your comments on to Peni. I hope we may see you again sometime. We'll be running some composting courses in the autumn, so keep an eye out here and on our Facebook page. Best wishes, Karen"
