Description

October is a time for returning inward, and for tending to the soil with mulches, composting, leaf mold and more. We will discuss types of cover crops for building soil tilth and fixing nitrogen. Mushrooms can be inoculated in the garden in October. All of these are great strategies for building soil in the long term. This month is the ideal time to plant garlic. How to select the best varieties of garlic for your region. As our weather turns colder in October, we will discuss how to provide shelter for your plants from the cold weather. Handouts include cover crop and composting guides, garlic planting information and the “to do” list for the month.

This is the October class of the Grow Your Own Produce Workshop Series.
