Unlock the secrets on how to grow organic veggies and create wicking beds for a thriving, water-smart garden with Fiona Blackham from Gaia Permaculture.During the workshop, you’ll learn:
· Organic gardening, where to start and how to get the best use of space
· Soil and composting – what you put in is what you’ll get out
· Companion planting & crop rotation, including succession planting
· Organic pest control & soil builders for healthier plants
· What to do with the excess produce
We will also look at how easy wicking beds are to build and why they are such a great way to reduce your water use whilst still growing healthy and nutrient rich veggies and herbs!
