FREE Gardening Demonstrations
Our gardening demonstrations for 2014 have not yet been scheduled. Check back in late February or send an email to us at baltimorecountygrowiteatit@gmail.com for more information or to request a topic!
For reference, the topics presented in 2013 are outlined below:
Weed and Pest Identification and Management Walk-About
Learn methods to maintain a sustainable and environmentally sound garden. The walk-about will include landscape and food gardens, the pests and beneficials to be found in each and the means to manage weeds and pests relative to the type of garden.
Home Composting & Compost Tea
Come learn about composting and how you can easily reduce waste at home. Check out the different types of compost systems, to include a worm composting bin. Learn the key to Compost success -- the proper mix of greens (grass clipping etc.) and browns (paper, dead leaves etc.), turning, watering, screening and knowing when it is ready to use!
Then, learn how to take that compost to make your own compost tea; sustainable fertilizer! The demonstration will include different types of organic material, a review of the components needed, a discussion of steeping time, aeration, and the finished product.
Winterize Your Garden, Start a New Bed and Overwintering
Garden Smarter, Not Harder...
Come hear from Baltimore County Grow It Eat It on the best fall practices to ease your spring gardening pains and provide the earliest harvest around! We'll talk about winterization and overwintering and we'll learn how to prepare a new bed for spring planting AND save our backs: the lasagna method.
