We go through the essentials of soil preparation, seed raising, what to grow when (and how much), fertilizing and how to care for your growing vegetables.

Keep your garden green with grey water!

In the 'Going Grey' class we discuss the wisdom and practicalities of using this valuable resource in the garden, and especially in the produce garden.

Gunyah Garden has been using mostly grey water for it's water requirements for the last 2 years.

The course notes reflect both the lessons learnt over this time and the latest studies on the subject.

Amongst other things, we look at suitable detergents and shampoos and how to look after your soil so that you avoid possible problems.

Our refreshments are derived from parts of the garden watered entirely on grey water.(Quite safe!)
