Several weeks ago, the Wagner Farm camp kids helped to clear weeds and plant seeds in Wagner Farm's Demo Plot. The Demo Plot is a space for showcasing gardening techniques and ideas, and the kids had a lot of fun planting beans around the bike wheel trellis and creating a checkerboard with different colored lettuce. We're also showcasing different mulching techniques: using flowers as a "living mulch" versus using thick cardboard "paper". So far, the tomatoes, peppers and eggplant like both techniques very well!
