Edible Garden Design

Brad Halm and Colin McCrate of the Seattle Urban Farm Company

Want to grow food in your yard this season? Join the owners of the Seattle Urban Farm Company as they guide you through designing your own "backyard farm". They'll discuss how to find the best spot on your property for a vegetable garden, how to lay out the space for maximum production and ease of use, and how to get your soil into condition to grow top quality organic vegetables. They'll also teach you how to incorporate fruit trees and berry bushes into your existing landscape. For those of you with more urban yards, they'll cover growing edibles in container gardens.
