Raised Bed, Square Foot, Vertical Growing Workshop
Date: TBD
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
What: Raised Bed, Square Foot and Vertical Growing
with Vermicomposting Garden Tower 2
For those who don't have lots of space or time to devote to gardening these methods may be ideal. Learn about Raised beds and square foot gardening. These methods are easier on the back and reduce weeding as they are compact for maximizing growth in a small footprint. We will discuss companion planting as well as create an easy way to design and plant.
Vertical growing is really "moving up" as people discover the 3 dimensional approach to growing both outdoors as well as year round indoors. The Garden Tower 2 is a vertical soil based vermicomposting eco system that allows you to grow a wide variety of herbs and veggies in a 4.5 square foot area.
The growing practices follow organic principles.
Presented by Frank Tecklenburg of Earth Connections.
