Demonstration Garden at Travis County AgriLife Extension Office, 1600 “B”
Smith Rd, Austin, 78721
Grow your own vegetables! Double digging and constructing a raised bed
are the two methods being presented to prepare a spot for a garden. Double
digging loosens the soil to a greater depth and exposes roots that can be
removed. Raised beds result in warmer soil in the spring, good drainage, and
soil control. It is easier on the body. Hands-on so you can help dig and/or
help with construction or just watch. This free event is sponsored by the
Travis County Master Gardeners Assoc., a volunteer arm of AgriLife
Extension Service. _www.tcmastergardeners.org_ (http://www.tcmastergardeners.org/)
