Maureen gave a detailed and comprehensively illustrated talk on her organic kitchen garden at her house in Stratford which she has developed over a period of 25 years. To begin with she set out some of the science and principles of organic gardening:-
a. Soil building and improving. b. Pest control and management. c. Heirloom plant preservation.
She talked about her personal commitment to this approach, giving examples of how she has created a both a productive and decorative space.
Explaining about the techniques she applies, extensively re-using plastic bottle cloches, building raised beds, applying crop rotation, feeding the soil, not the plants, and watering carefully.
