Just a quick video of what you can do to speed up your onion growing from early bought onion sets. Instead of just storing them until mid march or early April to plant them, you can simply plant each set into a module tray in February and this should bring them into growth earlier, and then when the soil warms up you can plant them out on the allotment and they’ll be about a month ahead.

See video garden calendar at organotill.org. Talks about using micorizzal fungi in garden beds to slow global warming as part of an intro to our no till gardening calendar. This is one of many videos that follows the gardening season chronologically in Kansas City and similar areas. We hope that people can follow along and work in their own gardens at organotill.org. Organotill.org features organic no-till methods used at Niles Home for Children’s Garden, Tracy Garden & elsewhere.

EarthRecycle™ raised garden beds are lightweight and durable, but most importantly, they allow you to grow food like mad. The garden beds are designed for use in unfriendly conditions, and so can be located on almost any surface, from gravel lots to blacktop. Those “dead areas” can actually become useful growing spaces instead. The circular design allows maximum growing area and access for multiple gardeners, all while maintaining a small footprint. However, the flexible material means gardens can be created in any shape, allowing them to fit the available area. The beds are scalable, so you can plant as much or as little as desired. Programs can be built around individual gardens, buddy teams, or even entire class or community projects, just by shrinking or growing the bed size. The panels are rugged, lightweight, intuitive to use, and theyre made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic. EarthRecycle™ raised garden beds can be assembled in minutes by gardeners of almost any age or ability and are the ultimate solution for School or Community Garden Programs.
