Class: Building Wicking Garden Containers

Malabar FL

27 March, 2021

Description

Suzanne and Maridel are hosting another Florida Homesteaders class. This one is about making any size wicking container for growing your veggies on a sandbar! In this Backyard Homesteading class series, Maridel and Suzanne will guide you into recycling kitty litter type buckets into Wicking Garden Containers. This concept can then be applied to any size container. The course will include all materials, buckets, compost soil, handouts, Zone 9 Planting Chart, seeds and seedlings, and hands on instruction to make your own wicking buckets at home easily and affordably. The course will cover: benefits of using wicking containers, space required, soil mixes and hands on soil preparation using rich compost from our farms, container preparation, discussion on seeds and planting schedules, cutting the materials for your project, and answering Florida Gardening questions. Each person will take home a completed wicking container filled with composted soil and planted with seeds /seedlings, and a laminated Zone 9 Planting Chart. The class will be held at a beautiful goat farm in Malabar. Class is being held from 3pm to 5:30 pm. Register at
