Intercropping to Increase Production and Beat the Weeds with Dave Sansone
Modern science is confirming that the ancient practice of intercropping (companion planting) can increase production, beat the weeds naturally, provide free fertility, till the soil, and much more. Come learn how to “let nature do the work” for you with intercropping. Free seeds and plants.
Dave Sansone is the Agriculture Production Specialist for The Kohala Center and owner of Agroforestry Design which offers consultation services to help people develop productive and sustainable agroforestry systems. He is recognized as an expert in underutilized food plants.
Each class starts promptly with a lecture and Q&A before hands-on farm learning ~ Come prepared with notepad and writing utensil, closed toed shoes, sun hat, and gloves.
Plant Aloha is supported, in part, by the County of Hawaii, Research & Development. We are still looking for support to complete and enhance this amazing project. Please give what you can:
