Large No Dig Potato bed.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our potato bed this year
we could not have made such a massive no dig bed without you. At the beginning of March Katoomba North Primary
School children from Year one, two and six came down and harvested the entire crop in 30 minutes.
They were all truely excited, running around finding their buried treasure. The children will be coming down again soon for a pizza and bread making workshop.
The potato bed will be planted out with onions and broad beans for winter, thank you to Richard and Nina at Berridale Orchards for donating the onion seed.
Website Changes. We are in the process of taking input to redesign our website, We will be adding blog functions, and distributing the effort to include a lot more information about ever expanding projects and ideas. We have someone currently doing virtual and interactive mapping of the many aspects of the garden. Email us for input.
Food Production Other side of Creek. Also to be advised is a planning day in April for food production across the creek. We need to get the site assessed as wetland areas need to be maintained for education and conservation purposes. This could be an opportunity for several like minded groups to come together and work towards growing food for and by the local community. Please send an email if you wish to be advised of the workshop day.
