Small, hands-on classes, where participants learn the ins-and-outs of soil preparation, irrigation, planting, pest management, and harvesting. You will learn how to create your own edible garden for fresh, organic produce by learning how to:

• Create good soil out of your current
• What, how and when to plant
• How much and how often to add compost and water
• Manage insect pests and encourage "good bugs"
• Increase yield and add variety

Classes will be held in LA Green Ground's Teaching Garden located at the east end of the Good Earth Community Garden at Carmona Avenue and Boden Street, Los Angeles CA 90016.
