Working with a team of people to prepare your soil and plant your vegetable garden is only the first step. Now you need to learn how to look after that garden.
The Reel Easy Guide to Growing is your supporting document for Section B. This Guide is a simple workbook that provides information on natural, simple and economical gardening practices. It will supplement the information contained in the following 2 videos. You can download this Guide at the end of this lecture.
In the following two lectures you’ll learn about beneficial bugs and pest control, creating natural fertilisers and compost, trellising, transplanting and sustainable harvesting. It is a lot of information to take in so you may benefit from reading through the Reel Easy Guide to Growing before watching the videos.
Leave a copy of the Guide with your beneficiary partners after your training so that they can refer back to it whenever they need to.
Whilst you may want to use the Reel Easy Guide to Growing in your training, if you are working with a large group, the pictures in the Guide may be too small for everyone to see. Download the picture at the end of this lecture for use on a tablet or for printing to aid in your discussions.
