If you are not familiar with the program, Grow Appalachia is the largest rural food security program in the United States. The program is regionally focused in central Appalachia and our primary goal is to help Appalachian families grow as much of their own food as possible. We accomplish this goal by providing resources and education directly to families through our numerous partner sites working in over fifty counties in a six state region. This manual is meant to be a resource to help you be successful in producing your own food. In fact, we hope you will take it one step further and go on to market the extra food you produce to increase your means, as well as provide fresh food for the community. We hope this resource makes it simple and convenient to find basic information about how to establish and/or improve your garden or small farm.

  • Looking After Your Tools Spade, Fork, Rake, Hoes, Trowel, Dibber, Garden
    Looking after your tools Spade, fork, rake, hoes, trowel, dibber, garden line secateurs, hosepipe and watering can, shears and slasher: What could be simpler? Clean, dry or lightly oiled, sharp, properly kept, the right ones for the job, your tools are your best laboursaving friends! Dibbers make ideal holes for your planting out, and pushed beside the plant then fill the hole and firm it in nicely. Storage Gloves can be hung up to dry with pegs on a short clothes line, boots put upside down on two short stakes or hung through a horizontal ladder. Bow- saws should be hung vertically (release the tension). Spades and forks can be hung vertically from a rack (made from an old pallet) so that they dry; sledge hammers, axes, slashers, bill hooks, pitchforks and hoes (perhaps handle downwards) can join them, or hang on the wall. Lightly oil them and protect the blades. Small tools like hammers, pliers, secateurs, trowels, hand forks, scoops, onion hoes, weed augurs etc. are best oiled and hung up - perhaps in open spring-clips screwed to a batten. It is a matter of space and opportunity. Ropes should be coiled - put a half twist in each hawser loop in the same direction as you are coiling it to prevent kinking up. Hosepipes can be coiled and hung on brackets if they do not come with their own reel. Sharpening stones: these are fragile - flat stones, cigar and canoe stones are best stored safely in boxes with padding to steady them. Flat stones need a board with end stops to hold them while in use.

  • Gardening Intensive 2017
    Spring Gardening Intensive ***DAY I*** Introductions I’m Helen. Flower farmer, floral design, social media. 4rd year at Farm, started as intern. NYC, desire to get hands in dirt, CSU soil & crop sciences, Peace Corps Ecuador, master’s degree, apply knowledge at home. I will definitely lose my voice today, so please be patient with me if I am looking pained. Introduction: Why do we want to garden? What is the goal of our gardening? There may be (and should be) more than one. Food, self-improvement, learning skills, sharing, being more sustainable, educational & interactive for kids, community. Even though this is a 2-day workshop, we are covering a TON of material. I have tried to give a good overview of each topic, and to not dumb down any of the material, but I am of necessity going to skim over a lot. I am also going to talk about gardening in my experience, which, of course, is not the only experience and is not the only way to garden. You are each the best gardener possible for your particular situation. I have a tendency to go into way too much detail about things, especially soil, so let me know if I’m talking about cation exchange and you’re just not into it. Share our experience with one another. Questions welcome always, but please write down your more specific detailed questions that may only pertain to you and your garden so I can answer them more fully later, during lunch, cocktail hour, or extensive Q&A sessions. Let’s try to ask only clarifying questions in class so we can get the most out of our time together.

  • 'Self-Sufficiency in Learning How to Create a Year-Round
    ‘Self-Sufficiency in Learning How to Create a Year-Round Homesteading Garden and Gardening Tools 101’ with Gerry Fradette Essential gardening tools: Broadfork. Bow, garden, hand, leaf, and stone rake. Dibbler. Garden scissors, hose, glove, and hat. Hand and stirrup cultivators. Handheld, round-pointed, and spade shovel. Pruners. Rain barrel, watering can, and water pump. Soil blocker. Warren and draw hoe. Wheelbarrow. How to Make Your Backyard a Homestead Garden Adventure: Plan: Before planning, it is essential to consider four factors, which include water, oxygen, sunlight, and nutrients, as they shape the growing space. For instance, plants that are grown in the wrong temperature, a shady spot, or too close together, are at risk of wilting or dying due to not receiving an adequate amount of sunlight. Therefore, it might be better to start small and experiment with the four factors to determine the ideal conditions. Furthermore, take into consideration how the gardening tools mentioned above will be brought in, the daily tasks that have to be performed, what tools are most needed, and so on. Differents Way to Garden: There are several ways to garden, such as containers, raised beds, and vertical. The benefits of having a container or pot gardening are that it is portable, works well in small spaces, eliminates weed problems, and has control over soil quality. Raised beds allow maximize space, good drainage, prevents soil compaction, and easier is to take care of the plants without bending too much. Moreover, a vertical garden can improve air quality, the ability to grow more plants, and enhance visual appeals.
