Friends, we are now able to plan definitively the twice-postponed workshop. Some of our rootstock is swelling to the required minimum pencil-thickness, and we've found a date that works for us: Saturday, the 20th of March. Please sign up early; it's first come, first serve!
We're offering work exchange for the donation: 2 hours of weeding here will get you in! Or, net you at least one of the mulberry trees we graft here. Let us know if that might be of interest and if so, propose a time when you can come weed. (The afternoon of the workshop is a good time.)
Looking forward, Carol
Biointensive for Russia presents an introductory
Mulberry Grafting Workshop
with Kody Ryan, Biodynamic orchardist
Please join us for an introduction to the art of grafting!
Kody Ryan will
demonstrate simple techniques for grafting scions of delicious,
nutritious mulberry varieties -- Oscars, Black Persians, Pakistans, and
Rivieras -- onto rootstock. You will then have the opportunity
to graft one tree yourself, to take home to plant in your own
yard or orchard.
