About the event
Peng Chau residents Eduardo and May Ling regularly go to the neighbouring Lantau Island to collect cow dung for compost. Participants will visit their fertile garden on Peng Chau and the benefit of cow dung, followed by taking a ferry to Mui Wo and collecting cow dung together. The collected cow dung will then be brought to ‘Winnie the Farm’ to compose, completing the ecological cycle on Lantau.
