Sunday, January 12, 2025 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Johnson County Extension Master Gardener John Weeg has been gardening for most of his life. His current focus is on ways to improve soil quality through Hügelkulturl.
Hügelkultur is a centuries-old Eastern European gardening technique that involves creating a large mound with base of decaying wood debris and compostable plant materials, which is then planted as a raised bed. Erected with minimal cost, Hügelkultur offers a blend of ecological benefits and practical advantages, making it a valuable tool for gardeners interested in enhancing soil health and sustainability. John has constructed several Hügelkulturl sites to compare which configurations improve soil performance.
This live event will also be streamed live on the Library's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel
The Second Sunday Garden Forums are cosponsored by Project GREEN and the Iowa City Public Library.
This event takes place during our Wintering Together series for adults. Join us in-person and on Zoom for a variety of opportunities for engagement and connection this winter!
