We want it to become the centre of a growing community, a place of experiences, education and working with nature at the heart of the G63 area.
On Saturday 29th May, Nick (one of our Grow Ambassadors) was joined by six enthusiastic workshop-goers in constructing wooden ‘towers’ for growing potatoes in, using pallets. The idea is that, as potato plants need soil mounded around their stems as they grow, the wooden towers housing the potatoes are built up (and the soil within them) as the potatoes grow - they’re ideal where garden soil might not be the best for growing potatoes in, and potatoes are much easier to harvest by hand, so damage by garden forks (often used for harvesting potatoes grown in the ground) can be avoided. The harvesting process is also quite fun!
Here’s a little rundown of how the towers are made and the tools you’ll need, if you would like to make one yourself:
Grow G63 is a fantastic asset to our local community. Our vision is that it will become the heart of community food growing and sharing. With regular workshops, skill shares and other events, it will become a place where we can learn and gain experience, increase our awareness of the climate emergency in relation to how we grow food and use land, provide practical local solutions and actions, and improve mental and physical wellbeing.
