Season extension tools and techniques and farm tool maintenance.

With our short summers it is important to get the most out every day in the growing season. With the use of small simple structures like hoop houses and cold frames you can utilize those shoulder season days for farming and gardening. We will talk about types of structures, how they can be utilized, and their benefits and shortcomings. In addition, we will chat about how to keep your tools lasting a lifetime by using proper maintenance and storage.
Brad has farming and gardening experience in a variety of harsh climates. Over the years working on farms, and with farmers through the soil and water conservation district, he has learned a range of techniques and strategies to extend the growing season. Currently he manages a small farm on Ohlson Mt producing vegetables, berries, shrubs, and trees.
