One weekend. Two kinds of learning.

Know the reason. Then do the work.

The programme follows the order a new grower needs: understand the complete system first, then practise the physical process with guidance beside you.

Day 01Saturday

Online theory: understand the complete cultivation cycle

Learn what oyster mushrooms need, how each stage connects and where growers usually make avoidable mistakes.
