Description

EON Foundation has produced a user-friendly manual to assist anyone who is planning to set up an edible garden (community garden). The information is presented in an easy-to-read style and illustrated with photos from their own edible gardens.

The manual has been printed on paper that has been treated to make it untearable and washable (so it can be taken into the garden), with a ruler printed on the inside cover to 'measure how far apart you need to plant your seedlings...'. There are chapters on:

setting up your garden
watering plants
making your garden sustainable
garden maintenance plan

EON Foundation works with communities in the Kimberley region of WA, and so this manual is geared towards gardens in this area. The second half of the manual is a month-by-month guide of what to plant, harvest, and do in the gardens in the coastal Kimberley and inland Kimberley regions.
