Description
Seed Saving and Seedling Raising is one module from Elisabeth Fekonia’s revised book, Organic Gardening in Your Own Backyard and is based on Elisabeth’s TAFE accredited Horticulture course.
Sowing seeds however can be tricky here in our Australian climate but Elisabeth will teach you a few tips on how to get it right. So often the sun is too hot to allow for constant soil moisture to enable germination and stress- free
growth of the young seedlings in the garden bed and so its safer to sow seeds in pots before planting directly into the garden. Most people prefer to buy seedlings as they are so easy to plant in the garden and they generally have a high success rate.
Elisabeth will teach you the best way to set up a nursery, regardless of how little space you have and how to make the perfect seed raising and potting mix plus which seeds to look out for.
The other modules available separately are;
Permaculture Design and Different Types of Gardens
Building Good Soil
Natural Pest & Weed Control
OR you can get ALL 4 for the reduced price of $19.99 by selecting the e-book ‘Organic Gardening in Your Own Backyard’ in the shop.
All the topics are fully explained in easy to understand layman’s terms and you will learn how to become more self-sufficient in these worrying times. On following these simple principles, you will be confident you will be able to feed your family now, and for years to come. You will also have the confidence of knowing where your food is coming from and won’t be so reliant on the current food supply chain or subject to it’s vagaries and incredible price rises in times of crisis.
