Introduction to Growing Biointensive

Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Sustainable Soils workshop with Common Ground Education Center

Learn the principles of double-digging, composting and soil-building, intensive planting, companion planting, carbon-farming (compost crops), calorie farming, and open-pollinated seeds. We emphasize a whole-system approach that builds soil fertility in a relatively short time, so that fertilizer inputs (other than compost) become unnecessary, or almost so, thereby making the garden and farm sustainable. Taught by Dan Royer-Miller, who is in his third year as an apprentice at Ecology Action's Research Garden in Willits, CA.
