The propagation group, Madisson, Margaux, Nicole and me, believe that it is very important to propagate before planting. Propagating involves many aspects, but the one we think is most beneficial is planting the seeds, and growing them inside, and than transplanting them into the garden. We think this is a good tactic because we are building out the root systems of the plant until they are strong enough to survive on their own. Also, since we are an organic farm, and do not use pesticides, this will allow us to monitor our plants, and keep animals from eating them. Propagation also has to do with GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) and pesticides. We will focus on why our garden chooses to use neither of them.
Some things we want to think about are:
- Water Schedules, How often and when?
- What is each plants specific needs?
- Grown in flats or direct sow?
