Weed-Less Gardening, With Lee Reich
Mimic Nature's Tactics for a More Productive, Easier-to-Manage Landscape
Want to weed less, while having a more productive garden with healthier plants? (Who doesn’t?)
For 30 years, garden author, fruit expert and soil scientist Lee Reich has been caring for his garden soil in a distinctive, four-part way: minimizing soil disturbance; minimizing compaction; maintaining a cover (in the form of the best mulches and more), and watering smart.
Learn to compost like a master as well from Lee, who hasn’t turned one of his vegetable gardens in 15 years since he created it, for instance; his other hasn’t been tilled in 30. Both deliver bountiful harvests, despite the fact that his beds are very intensively planted.
Take your ornamental and vegetable gardens to the next step with Lee’s methods, which he’ll detail in this fascinating talk derived from his popular book “Weed-Less Gardening.”
NOTE: This talk coincides with Garden Conservancy Open Day visiting at the garden of Margaret Roach, plus a plant sale by Broken Arrow Nursery. Margaret's garden in Copake Falls, NY, is just down the road from the church where the lecture will be held. Garden open and plant sale 10-4; details under the "About" tab on awaytogarden.com
