12 March 2019: Weeds
12 March 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Matt Heffernan will discuss a site he has been trying to manage at Mollymook. It has been left untouched for many years and weeds are proving to be a real problem.
He will run through the many organic strategies commonly used and will discuss both their positives and their negatives. After six years the problem continues particularly as he only visits every 2 months. An automatic watering system is feeding the garden – which also includes the weeds!
The site is on heavy clay in full sun. Some vegetables are growing. The intention is to grow perennial vegetables like yucon and sweet potato as well as other vegetables suitable for storage such as pumpkin, that can be picked and stored back in Sydney. Maybe some bright ideas from guests could help?
Entry cost is free to all financial members of Permaculture Sydney South. Non-members are welcome to attend and will be charged $10 to be collected at the door.
