Kaicycle Community Open Day

Have you been looking for a chance to visit Kaicycle Urban Farm? Come along our Community Open Day regularly in spring, summer, and autumn! Each open day includes a working bee, koha workshop, and a table with a some produce and compost for sale.

Come along for as much or as little of the day as you would like!

10am - 12.30pm COMMUNITY WORKING BEE - Registrations required
Many hands make light work - come and get your hands in the māra - with a bunch of us we'll be able to get a good chunk of mahi done! Register at www.kaicycle.org.nz/volunteer

12:30PM - 1pm, KAI BREAK
Bring a picnic lunch and join us for koha coffee, tea, and cake.

1:00pm - 2.30pm KOHA WORKSHOP: Brew Your Own Beneficial Microbes - KOHA - Registrations required - sign up at www.kaicycle.org.nz/volunteer

We’ve recently learnt how to make beneficial microbial brews from basic ingredients - join us for this koha workshop so we can practice and share our learnings!

We’ll practice making the base lactobacillus or ‘LAB’ brew (from rice, milk, molasses and water) and the ‘SPICE’ compost innoculant. We’ll talk about other brews you can make with the LAB base too. SPICE stands for 'Static Pile Inoculated Compost Extension', which means you can use this lovely brew to build a compost that doesn't need turning, which the beneficial fungi will love you for! Some of the other brews we'll talk about (like hydrolysate) can make great foliar sprays (to feed your plants through their leaves) and soil amendments.
