We start with the principles of no dig growing, and how it saves so much time, for harvests as good as, if not better than, those from dug/tilled soil. You’ll see how to create a productive garden, even when a beginner, and how to be on top of weeds, including couch and bindweed. Experienced gardeners will learn timesaving methods to increase the growth and health of their plants.
Gardening is often made to sound more complicated than it is, especially with regard to feeding plants and coping with weeds. You’ll feel empowered through understanding the methods you see at Homeacres, which you can then adapt to your own garden.
Homeacres is a third of an acre market garden and a field lab too – there is so much to see and learn from. The course includes a lunch of many vegetarian dishes made with produce from the garden and tea and coffee are served.
There is no need to bring wellies as the garden isn't muddy. Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather. We will be in the garden as much as possible and will eat lunch outside if we can. For the summer months please bring sun protection as there is very little shade in the garden.
