Vermiculture

Vermiculture- Working with Worms! This past season we created a vermiculture/vermicomposting bed at the Antelope Community Garden site. To learn more about the benefits of worms for soil and plants, read our page on Vermiculture Growing.

Biointensive Growing

This is one of the methods we teach and use in our community gardens. Sopisticated and time tested methods that date back 4000 years, Grow Biointensive education in the US is the product of Ecology Action. Their 31 year project in Northern California has produced results in soil and plant health that we feel contribute to agrcultural durability. In working with compacted and neglected urban soils, CROPS has also realized the benefits of Biointensive techniques on soil reclaimation.

You can learn about Double Digging, one part of the method, or go directly to Ecology Action's Grow Biointensive methods.

Permaculture

A tool of sustainable living, permaculture seeks to develop functional connections within our human landscape that are durable in life span and use.
