Some further information below as a follow up to the Green Club’s Climate XChange event in February.
GIY - Grow It Yourself
Our first GIY event was a great learning experience and exchange of ideas evening with free Jerusalem artichoke roots. We discussed topics including how to start growing, the importance of ivy and dandelions for bees, growing beetroot, how to create a raised bed and using a 4-bed rotation system, using ice cube containers to store herbs, to mow or not to mow, our perception of what is a beautiful garden, seed sharing and how to eliminate slugs successfully. We had a mix of people who wanted to start growing and experienced gardeners.
Our next meeting is on Monday 13th May at 8.15pm at the Clubhouse. Future dates are 10th June, 15th July, 12th August, 9th September and 7th October 2024. All are welcome (you don't need to be a member of Clontarf GAA) you can drop into any of these evenings but do let us know if you are coming at GIYclontarf@gmail.com.
