An old method is popular again
In one week, you can learn an old gardening technique that is becoming popular (again) to help the soil naturally. Master Gardener John Weeg will headline the Project GREEN Second Sunday Garden Forum on Jan. 12 in the Iowa City Public Library. Weeg will cover “Hügelkultur, Water and Roots: Why Bury Old Wood?” He developed a plan and supervised the construction of Master Gardener hügelkultur projects — one in the fairground demonstration garden and another at Ecumenical Towers along Washington Street. Weeg has also used the technique in his home gardens. The presentation is free and open to the public and qualifies for CE credit hours. The program begins at 2 p.m.
