Continuing in the no-dig, regenerative gardening vein, this third class we will start with the benefits and savings of growing your own veggie plants from seed. We will also discuss inoculating seeds for better growth and the art of planting them out. Additionally we will look at the difference in direct seeding vs. growing for transplanting and seasonal strategies for maximizing a four season garden. 

In the second part of the class we will be learning about irrigation, both overhead and drip. The goal is to be comfortable walking away from your garden during vacation and not worry about it. We will discuss timers, filters, watering schedules, cooling off plants on hot summer days, and more. In the lab we will build a drip system from hose bib to the end of the drip line, to take some of the mystery out of building a solid drip system that lasts for years.

Half the class will be at C5 Studios and then we will move on over to the lab for the other half. Snacks from the garden will be served.
