Hello Tim, Everyone who has responded to your e-mail seems to be covering the basics. Our Community Gardens Program here in San Jose, Calif. strictly adheres to the common practices of organic gardening; no pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers or other such substances or practices inconsistent with organic gardening are prohibited. Another important topic to touch basis on is Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Kennedy -----Original Message----- From: Community_garden [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Cavileer Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 10:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Community_garden] gardening info Hi Everyone, I'm involved with a community garden in Moscow, Idaho and wondered what sort of gardening information other community gardens share with their plot holders. Our advisory board is planning to have four informational sessions over the growing season to cover different but timely topics. What sort of gardening information do you share with your gardeners? Our tentative topics are: 1) Gardening 101 (sort of a dos and don'ts of basic gardening with frost dates, suggested varieties to grow, keeping a notebook, etc) 2) Preserving the harvest and seed saving 3) Produce donation opportunities 4) Cover crops Anyone care to share what they have found useful, not useful, in terms of topics and maybe timing of those topics? thanks, Tim Cavileer Moscow Community Garden http://www.facebook.com/groups/118730271542797/ 'Gardening is a matter of your enthusiasm holding up until your back gets used to it.' ~Author Unknown -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
