Seedling Production: From Start to Finish

Join us for a workshop to learn the processes that organic growers can use to produce seedling transplants from start to finish!

The workshop will start with crop planning and seed purchases and will move through systems of seedling production.

Attending growers will learn about seedling tray sizes, soil mixes, germination, and seedling care, including pest and disease controls and fertilization. Transplanting methods will be covered for when seedlings are ready to plant.  Alternative methods for seedling production, such as using soil blocks and DIY vacuum seeders will also be covered as well as intensive planting methods that can improve efficiencies.
