The Humus Management and Composting Seminar

We would love to invite you to participate in a seminar we are holding on Composting and Humus Management in July this year at Barraba, NSW. The CMC Consulting Group from Austria will be lecturing at these seminars. The group consists of Angela Luebke and her husband, Urs Hildebrandt, who is a world known compost consultant.

We will be holding the seminar from Monday 19th July to Saturday 24th July 2010 inclusive, ie 6 days.

The seminar will be held at the Playhouse Hotel, Queen Street, Barraba. Barraba is located an hour north of Tamworth on the Fossickers Way. If you require further directions please contact us.

Accommodation is available for attendees of this seminar.

The cost of this seminar will include:

Morning tea daily
Lunch daily
Afternoon tea daily
Conference and tuition
Final dinner on last night (3 course dinner)

We believe you will benefit greatly from the knowledge you will gain from the Luebke family.
