HOW YOU DO IT!
Isolation Approaches in Seedwork
The “How You Do It” meet-up format is where all willing attendees can share how they do what they do, focused on certain topics. It is an open forum to learn about different ways of doing things from your seed-growing peers, and ask each other questions.
In this meet-up we will hear from our fellow growers about the various ways we each use isolations to grow seed. Isolations are often thought of as “isolation distances” but there are many other ways to keep species-related varieties from crossing.
Hosts: Steph Warr of Twisted Brook Farm in Nova Scotia Canada, and Heron Breen, Seed Grower and Consultant in Maine. USA
