No-Till Gardening Techniques

  • Tuesday, April 12, 2022, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Reducing tillage in your garden helps preserve soil structure and also reduces the number of weed seeds that germinate each year. This helps improve your soil while also reducing the chore of weeding. This class will cover a variety of no-dig techniques, including broad forking, lazy beds and using raised beds.

About the Instructor:  Jennie Cramer is an educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County and Cornell Garden-Based Learning. She is an ecologist turned enthusiastic horticulture educator with 25 years of experience in organic gardening, regenerative agriculture, natural history and botanical education.
