THE GROWING COMMUNITY TOOLKIT

Compost, soil, fertilizers, soil additives and growing in raised beds

In this module, we’ve included everything about compost, soil, fertilizers and soil additives. We’ve also included information about ‘Dan’s Mix’ – or how to save water in containers. Finally, we’ve got some guides on building raised beds.

The content in this module was delivered in a series of workshops in February and March 2025, supported by the Ouse Valley Climate Action Fund, the Lewes District Food Partnership and the Sussex Community Development Association.
