In the introduction, Marc shares his background in gardening, as well as an overview of the course topics.
Learn a three-pronged garden recordkeeping system—plastic indoor tags, wooden outdoor stakes, and a master journal—to track seed variety, germination, planting dates, and season insights.
Explore how liquid lunch fertilizers deliver key nutrients, especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, in soluble form for immediate plant uptake to boost leaves or fruit.
Explore turning scraps into heat-generating compost by balancing carbon and nitrogen, using a compost thermometer, and planting on top for quick, nutrient-rich harvests.
This course will help you discover a rule-breaking, experimental approach to gardening that will lead you to great vegetable growing results. In this class we’ll get a firm foundation in some of the basics of gardening, rock-solid stuff like light, water, seeds, nutrients, compost, BUT we’ll also open up the field for creative exploration and novelty.
One additional core course principle: all our work will be guided by organic and sustainable gardening practices because as gardeners we want to align ourselves with, and not against, the ways of Nature.
