8th Louth Slieve Foy Cub group
I am just starting out on this project as part of my woodbadge training to develop a new programme with the cubs.
We plan to cultivate initially one raised bed organically in a neighbours garden (just up the hill from our scout hall). I would like the cubs to grow food that they can cook and eat and in this way enable them to get parts of their cooks badge and gardening badge and wildife/environment badge.
the first stage is to get the cubs and their parents fired up, we will then build a raised bed using recycled timber and fill it with garden compost, compost from the recycling centre and seaweed form the shore. we will also plant some seeds which can grow on in my coldframe ready for planting in the middle of April.
we plan to grow main crop spuds, courgettes, spinach, rhubarb and onions.
we will let you know how we get on
