Organic farming course

Through our organic farming course in Lozoya (Madrid), you'll learn the key tasks of an organically grown garden in a practical way: seedbeds, raised beds, irrigation, pest control, planting, soil management, composting, vermiculture, chicken coop, and more.

This essentially practical course is aimed at those interested in creating an organic garden for self-consumption or for socio-educational purposes, both in rural and urban settings. No prior knowledge is required. This workshop is also very useful for urban gardens and container gardens.

Throughout the day we will cover the following topics:

• What is organic production?
• Basic notions about plants
• Growing in containers and small spaces
• Substrates
• Irrigation
• Vegetables: botanical families and plant needs
• Crop layout and organization: How to design an organic garden
• Maintenance work
• The health of the garden
• Disease prevention and control – pest control
• Seed collection and conservation
• The ecological chicken coop
• Raised bed – Preparing irrigation systems
• The moon and the plants
• Plant compatibility and crop associations – mulching – permaculture
