Strategies for Increased Production

Class Description

Good garden planning involves laying out the rows and blocks for the coming season. Great gardening includes maximizing your existing space and layout in order to maximize production. And you will build better soil and fight fewer weeds in the process. We will cover strategies such as succession planting, spatial interaction, nurse cropping, cover cropping and living mulches.
