In this popular, practical Food Gardening Workshop we will look at practical tips for growing more fresh, contaminant-free food. One key strategy in food gardening is creating intensive, productive beds - beds where nutrients and water are consistently available to the plants. With an emphasis on recycling available materials we will complete small and large wicking beds. We will cover growing media, propagation, seasonal selection and watering systems to ensure you have a bountiful, water efficient growing system. Learn about the value of making and including nutrient and microbe rich compost into a successful productive beds for vegetables, herbs and trees. David de Vries of Food Gardening in Remote Australia has run these workshops over 70 times throughout Australia. He is now back in the NT where he has been growing, developing and deploying wicking garden beds over the last 19 years.
