| Gardener Spotlight |
|
|
15 years ago community gardener Jorge Donaire
created a unique composting techique. He digs a 15"
deep square trench which when filled will become the
planting bed. Each day he puts one layer into the
trench starting with grasses then soil, then manure
rotating layers for 6 days until filled. Using this
method planting can take place on the 7th day. Jorge
is developing a video on U. S. gardening methods to
send back to his home country of Hondras.
