Are You Ready to Plan Your Veggie Garden?
|
|
|
A well-planned garden can mean less maintenance, less weeding, less watering and more food for your family! Right now you may be feeling that you'd like to have more control over your own food supply and know that what you are feeding your family is reliable and healthy. Having the right knowledge makes a big difference for a successful and fun vegetable garden.
Companion planting is a great way to get more produce out of a small space and Wallish Greenhouses has a great table of which plants make good allies!

Site Spotlight: Front Yard Food Forest
|
|
|
 This was a great project on a corner-lot in Laurier Heights. We started with a large lawn of grass and dug water-moving swales through the property. We then sheet mulched the front 2/3 of the lawn with lots of organic material and local, fungal-innoculated aspen wood. Into this rich soil cover we planted 2 apple trees and an assortment of edible shrubs, ground covers, flowers and asparagus! The yard is the talk of the neighbourhood and our clients love telling their neighbours about everything they are growing and all of the new biodiversity that is popping up in their yard

Going Fast! - Mushroom Logs
|
|
|
 We have seen so much interest in these Maitake mushroom logs lately! Lots of folks want to grow their own edible and medicinal mushrooms in their backyard and we've been delivering them around town for a week (safety first, of course!)
These logs are really easy to care for, and may produce mushrooms for several years with the right care and location.
Now that spring is here we are selling these logs for $75/each plus $15 delivery ($25 out-of-city) and GST.
Send us a message if you'd like to start growing mushrooms this year!

Self-care and Community-care during the COVID-19 Pandemic
|
|
|
As we continue to stay home and contain the spread of COVID-19, now is a great time to consider the world we want to inhabit when this is over. What part of the old systems do we want to preserve, and what parts need to be reinvented for greater Earth Care, People Care and a Fair Share for all?
If we don't carefully and intentionally tend to the growth of a new world, then the old one -with all it's injustice, destruction and fear- will grow again like a weed.
We plan on helping to make Edmonton more food secure, inclusive and climate responsible, and we want to do it alongside you.
