We teach true principles and highly productive procedures, which can greatly increase your yield – even by as much as 10 times in many cases. The procedures include protecting your plants against anything that will harm them, or that does not provide good growing conditions. Frequent watering, timely weeding, proper plant spacing, ample light, and […]

We’ve just installed T-Frames, and just in time, as tomatoes are over a foot tall and starting to bend over, cucumbers and beans are producing tendrils, and melons are vining also. We will be having our students install wire on top and bottom, and attaching baling twine “strings” between them tomorrow. Watering is also SO […]

We have wonderful neighbors in Getk, Armenia, and one of them, Arras, is an excellent gardener! Their traditions, along with other factors, however, limit their productivity severely. Arras told us the other night that during Soviet times coal cost them $15 per ton, and families used coal to heat their homes during the winter. After […]

We have been reminded very powerfully in the past two weeks about the importance of pest control in the garden. We work daily with families who depend on their gardens to keep them alive during the coming long winter months, and anything that threatens their crops’ viability has their full attention immediately. Most of the […]

I have been so blessed for many years to have been able to know and visit with Jacob Mittleider personally and/or by telephone whenever I had a gardening question I couldn’t figure out! Jacob knew so much, he truly had forgotten more than I’ll ever know, and it was a real education to jog his […]

Growing vegetables is simple – even out of season! Just control a few simple things, and your plants will respond with remarkable growth. Let’s see how EASY it is now. Giving your plants ample light seems easy, until you actually try it. Basically, full sun all day long is the goal. Basements and garages don’t […]

I had a chance to look at a greenhouse full of seedlings that are being grown for 200 families in villages almost 100 miles distant from our training center. The plants are not growing, and in various stages of dying, and it’s probably too late to save the crop. Here’s what I found was wrong […]

This week I determined there was great need for us to visit our students in their home villages, while also assisting with transplanting in a greenhouse that is being used to provide many thousands of seedlings for 200 participants in 5 villages. I was reminded very graphically that greenhouse seedling production is not “a piece […]

This week we visited our students in several villages almost two hours from the training gardens at Getk, to help them get started in their own gardens, and assist them as they began demonstrating to and teaching 200 other families “the poor man’s hydroponic method” of gardening. We were gratified to watch as our students […]

When a person follows the recipe carefully and completely they have wonderful success, in any soil and in virtually any climate. I am privileged to know and have experience applying these principles and procedures, but once in a […]
