Kate will take a group of 15 for a preserving demonstration that will include how to use sugar, vinegar, oil, salt and drying to extend an abundant harvest. Alistair will take the other 15 and demonstrate how to set up a sustainable kitchen garden. This will include setting up a 4 bed rotation system, permanent beds and worm farm, the use of chooks as recyclers and the Berkley Hot composting method.
Enjoy a lunch using some of the produce from the garden and a glass of wine.
The groups will change and the demonstrations will be repeated in the afternoon.
Kate and Alistair had very successful careers as restaurateurs for 18 years receiving multiple industry and business awards. They now live in Strathalbyn and tend a large productive garden and orchard. Alistair is responsible for managing the soil by using the Berkley method of composting while Kate preserves their bountiful harvest.
