The two sessions are on Saturday, 2nd December, 10am-2pm at Bundoora Park Farm and Sunday, 3rd December, 10am-3pm at Five Tales Farm in Piedmont.

In the first session, you will discuss how the opportunities and limitations of a site combine to inform crop placement and rotation. You will also learn how to grow for a defined market.

The second session will be a field trip where you find out about a methodology for crop planning and how this is used at this specific site. You will also discuss weed management and fertility practices, particularly when flipping beds/shifting from one crop to another, and how this impacts rotation plans (which crops follows/never follows).
