Vegetable Gardening

This course takes you from bare ground or an empty raised bed to a productive, season-long vegetable garden. You will learn how to test and amend soil, build a bed and fill it with a proven mix, start seeds and harden them off, lay out companion and succession plantings, install a simple drip system, rotate crops to break pest and disease cycles, and stop the most common garden pests using row cover, hand control, and biological methods. No chemicals and no guesswork, just soil, seed, water, and methods backed by extension-service research.
