Adding worms to your garden class set for Jan. 21
The Edible Gardening Exchange’s December speaker will be Brad Ward, Tropical Agriculture Specialist with ECHO. He will provide details on how to build and install a simple “worm tower” in our gardens.
ECHO has been experimenting with a method of using composting worms directly in the garden bed to both reduce labor and drastically increase soil health. Brad will share how it has impacted ECHO garden beds and discuss what it takes to maintain good garden soil health here in Southwest Florida.
Join other edible gardeners on Thursday, Jan. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the North Fort Myers Rec Center, 2000 N Recreation Park Way in North Fort Myers. Arrive at 5:30 p.m. for an open and informal chat on edible topics. Consider bringing something to share with other gardeners (seeds, plants, a snack). Bring your own cup for free coffee and tea.
