Home Gardener
Workshop on August 5th
GREENVILLE – Did you ever notice that some year’s your garden produces
too much food for you, your family and even your friends to consume
before it goes bad? Have you left fruits and vegetables to rot in
your garden because you cannot possibly eat any more of them? Has
this ever happened to you? If you have answered yes to these
questions, then this home gardener workshop is for you.
The “Don’t Waste Your Garden” workshop is geared toward helping you
learn how to best maximize and consume every item your garden
produces. By attending the workshop, you will learn how to
preserve your food through freezing, instead of the traditional canning
method. This can help save time and make it easier to store those
fresh vegetables and fruits. Diane Barga, OSU Extension, will
cover the basics of properly preserving your garden with freezing.
Krista Fourman, Darke County Soil Waste, will cover composting
methods. Find ways to utilize any waste you may have from the
dinner table or garden. She will cover the best methods of
composting and how to use that material properly in your garden.
And finally, Janell Weiss with Darke SWCD, will cover fall gardening
topics. Learn some growing techniques and suggestions for
extending your gardening season. If you are interested in seed
saving, hear some of the basics on how to dry and store seeds for next
year. And finally learn a few ways to use cover crops when
closing your garden to help build soil health.
