and includes the gardening book How to Grow More Vegetables by John
Jeavons. If you have the book, deduct $20.00. For couples, who want to

The course includes concepts and practices on how to establish and
maintain your garden, with emphasis on growing nutrient-dense
vegetables. The concepts apply equally to flowers and yards. Course
material is well documented, but also includes practical tips from
gardening experience. Topics include soils, soil testing, soil biology,
selecting the garden site, tools, double-digging, composting, plant
spacing, fertilizing, watering, companion planting, mulching, compost
tea, green manure crops, nitrogen fixing crops, winter cover crops,
pest management, weeds, paramagnetic effects, and organic gardening
resources.


Who Should Attend: The course is for beginning gardeners and those with
considerable gardening experience. It would be helpful (but not
required) for beginning gardeners, to read the book, before taking the
class. There will be time for questions, discussions, sharing of
information, and a visit to Calvin's garden some Saturday, after
completion of the course.


Instructor: Dr. Calvin Bey grew up on a farm in Michigan and is a
retired USDA Forest Service scientist, with a deep concern about health
and environmental issues. Over the past 50 years, he has gardened in
ten different geographic areas, and has trained under John Jeavons
using the Grow Biointensive® approach. He has attended Acres USA
Conferences, and has grown more than 40 kinds of vegetables and fruits
in Fayetteville.
