On May 14th Jessica and I will be leading our first gardening workshop on Quadra, in our new field. We will demonstrate and discuss some of the methods we use to turn fallow, weedy land into fertile garden beds, and how to begin establishing and feeding the soil food web. These topics were chosen in light of our being knee-deep in our most ambitious land-transformation project ever, as we will be spending much of this year digging and sheet-mulching our fallow field back into productivity. We figured it would be the perfect time to teach some of the skills we employ every day. We intend for our workshop curriculum to develop along with the land, and we hope this event will be the first of many.
