Sustainable Mini-Farming Workshop

Ecology Action will be holding a Three-Day GROW BIOINTENSIVESM Sustainable Mini-Farming Workshop in Willits, CA, on February 27-March 1, 2009.  This will be an exciting opportunity for in-depth learning of GROW BIOINTENSIVE® philosophy and techniques, which have been developed by the Ecology Action staff over a 37-year period.
GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming makes high "Green Revolution"-type yields possible organically, while using open-pollinated seeds and just a fraction of the water, fertilizer and energy resources of other agricultural methods.The weekend workshop will consist of lectures, discussion, and demonstration and will include a full range of information on: Soil Preparation, Sustainable Soil Fertility, Fertilization, Compost, Compost Crops, Efficient Resource Use, Crops for Full Nutrition, and Crops for Income—as well as the perspective and whole-system approach which tie all these topics together.  The workshop cost is $350 if registration is received by January 30, plus approximately $70 for the publications.  Lunches and a networking dinner are included; lodging and other meals are not.  For more information please contact Ecology Action http://growbiointensive.org
