Month: October 2018

Getting Ready for Winter

October 12, 2018 / The Radix Ecological Sustainability Center / Leave a comment

Intern Nick Schupp constructs his first low tunnel! These easy-to-make tunnels are a great way to extend the growing season! This year, we're using 3/4" pvc connected to our garden beds with U clips. We will cover our low tunnels with row cover and greenhouse plastic.      

Thank You!

A big thank you goes out to our volunteer group from Green Tech High School. Yesterday, the group helped move garden beds as a kickoff for our Innovation Blocks project!
