NEW for 2012!




Square Foot Gardening is taking over landscapes everywhere. 
Attend our begginers class at 10:00am on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 to learn how and why you want to grow more fruits and vegetables per square foot. The following items will be discussed:

· The layout of a square foot garden means that the squares are in multiples of 12 inches x 12 inches - the total measurement being 1 square foot.

· The squares are designed so that you never have to stretch more than 2 square feet to reach your plants.

· As a result, you never have to walk on your garden, which prevents the soil from becoming compacted.

· Once your beds have been created, there is no need for any further cultivation.

· Crop rotation and companion planting are to be encouraged.

· All climbing plants are trellised, further optimizing the use of space.

 Compost Bins for Residents

 


Compost bins make it easy to recycle your yard trimmings and kitchen scraps at home.  West Covina residents can purchase a compost bin at a subsidized rate after attending a free Smart Gardening Composting Workshop in the area.
