Fall class lineup:
September 17 ... MUSHROOMS
Mushroom foraging is an age-old practice that has seen a resurgence in recent years. As more individuals seek to reconnect with nature and discover the wonders hidden beneath the forest floor. Learn the basics of mushrooms in North Idaho from safety to harvesting.
September 24 ... JADAM
JADAM technology is a collection of simple agricultural techniques and inputs: designed to provide you with affordable alternatives to traditional farming inputs. JADAM encourages us to “ask nature” for the answers to common growing issues. It suggests that you take a scientific approach by observing how nature operates: how plants grow, how soil is protected, even how microorganisms interact to achieve a balanced environment. In this class we will discover how JADAM encourages growers to create their own fertilizers and pesticides using locally available materials. This includes using leaf mold, and plant extracts to produce effective organic solutions.
October 1 ... INDOOR GARDENING FOR A WINTER HARVEST
October 8 ... SOIL: THE FOUNDATION TO YOUR GARDEN
Growing a beautiful, healthy garden starts from the ground up. The secret is in the soil. Soil is a mixture of water, air, living organisms, organic matter and minerals. Achieving the right balance of these ingredients is the key to healthy soil and plants. Learn how to obtain the right balance for healthy soil, which is essential to success. Information for soil testing will be provided to help you achieve that healthy foundation.
