Eagerness to get dirt under the fingernails was evident at Doug Lyons' workshop on Square Foot Gardening last evening. About 75 people were present to learn more about this method of intensive gardening.
Using a special homemade mix of soil, a defined grid and raised box, he showed how it is possible garden more efficiently and easily.
"New gardeners are usually better at this method" he said, as experienced gardeners find it hard to change.
Doug will be running another hands on workshop this spring when people will be able to make their own frames and grids as well as learn how to make the soil mix. If interested you may phone Doug at 1-250-429-3519.
The book 'Square Foot Gardening' by Mel Bartholomew is available at most book stores and there are several references on the web.
