Kailash Ecovillage

October is a time for returning inward and thinking about nourishing the soil for the future garden. This class will highlight soil building method including mulches, composting, leaf mold and more. We will discuss types of cover crops for building soil tilth and fixing nitrogen. Garlic goes in the ground this month for summer harvest. We will talk about the different types of garlic and best varieties for our region. As always, this class will highlight what is happening in the garden in October, how to tend to your garden, and prepare for the coming month. Handouts will include a to do list for the month, information on soil building methods, and other pertinent information.

  Hi Carrie ~
  It is preferred to register online. You can bring cash on the day of the workshop if you need to.
  Thanks! I look forward to meeting you,
  Marisha

I would love to learn about cover crops and soil building. But Holgate is quite far and do not like to stress about traffic after work. If the work shop ever is offered on the west side, I wouldn't mind traffic, since it's on my side of town.
