Salad Growing All Year Course

12th May

This LandBase course will be held at Trill Farm Garden and run by Ashley Wheeler. The course is aimed at both experienced small scale salad growers and those who are thinking of starting a market garden and want to learn more about how to produce and sell salad all year.
Ashley will delve into the techniques and crop plans that are used at Trill Farm Garden to grow around 3 tonnes of salad a year. Sowing dates and varieties will be covered as well as propagation techniques, bed preparation and harvesting. For more information and to book tickets visit the LandBase Salad Growing page

Making a Successful Market Garden

21st-23rd April

Another LandBase course, run by Ashley Wheeler, Ruth Hancock and Charles Dowding. This course will be held at three different holdings, showing varied approaches to market gardening on a range of soils and selling through different markets. 

This workshop will not only cover much of the fundamental principles of crop production, but will also focus on how to run a successful market garden business. One of the critical aspects of running a market garden well is being organised, so record keeping and basic accounts will be talked about as well as crop planning, sowing schedules and crop rotations. The course will be suitable for people who are looking into starting up a small scale market gardening business, as well as those who have already started. Soil types as well as soil health and fertility will be talked about along with other technical aspects of growing vegetables such as propagation, cultivation, protected cropping, pests and disease, seed saving and harvesting, packing and storing vegetables.

For more information and to book tickets visit the LandBase Market Gardening page.

Cheers,

Ashley
