The focus of gardening these days is to use less chemicals, especially when growing your own fruit and vegetables. However, what do you do when aphids attack your plants, snails eat your broccoli or pigeons decide to strip your seedlings. How do you feed your plants effectively without the reliance on chemicals.
This talk focuses on using plants and natural fertilisers rather than shop bought products. We look at how to attract natural predators to your garden, companion planting, and using non chemical forms of pest control.
The talk is ideal for anyone interested in a more natural way to garden. There is always ample opportunity to ask questions and is meant to be a practical, down to earth guide rather than a speech about chemical use.
