TGC Teachers Developing Best Practices

Horticultural trials are underway around the world and local project sites are keeping records of the best local inputs to their TGC gardens. For example: In the United States teachers are using potting soil and vermicompost (from red worm composting) to grow their vegetables. In the Mexican state of Jalisco, teachers are using jal (a porous stone) and fertilizer. In India, the jury is still out about whether coir pith (coconut husk) or a soil and sand combination will work best.

This valuable, localized horticultural expertise will shared and collectively improved upon at the International Teacher Training.
