Gardening Training & Instruction
Do you desire to make a difference for good in the world around you? Are you willing to enter into a commitment to use your knowledge of food production to serve others without financial reward? If so, we will provide free training in the Mittleider Method of vegetable gardening. Training will require a commitment of 36 hours per week for 6 weeks on-site, and 10 hours additional time each week for study. Instruction includes 11 hours in the classroom and 25 hours in the garden. See Training for additional details.
Upon satisfactory completion, you will be a Certified Mittleider Gardener, and will be able to grow a "great garden in any soil, in any climate," and with supervision and/or assistance you can assist others to do the same.
Volunteers desiring to become Certified Master Mittleider Gardening Instructors will need to attend at least three 12 week sessions and assume supervisory, as well as additional growing, building, and teaching responsibilities. Upon satisfactory completion of the extended course work, the student will be qualified to teach and train others in the "World's best vegetable production methods" and help people throughout the world to become self-sufficient by growing their own food and selling the surplus.

Tip of the Day
It's Spring Planting Time! For those of you in the Northern hemisphere who have winters, March and early April are the time you need to be preparing your soil and planting the hardy vegetable crops such as radishes, peas, cabbage and broccoli.
The freeze/thaw cycles of winter have broken up and loosened most soils, so as soon as it's not muddy, go in and give everything a good weeding with the 2-way hoe (see Tools). Weeding thoroughly this early gives you the upper hand, and is very important.
If you grew a Mittleider garden last year, your beds will be easy to re-make. Just apply Pre-Plant and Weekly Feed to the bed area, then till them in, place strings on your stakes, and re-make the beds.
Be sure to re-check the level of each bed accurately, since they may have changed a little. Do not be satisfied with anything more than 1" fall in a 30'-long soil-bed. Good Gardening!
