Don’t forget! This Saturday, 5/4 is our Growing Autoflowers Outdoors class. It also happens to be the same day as Dancing in the Streets, the free Grateful Dead block party just 2 blocks away. Come learn to Let it Grow and then go have yourself a High Time at the show! For tickets and more info: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/growing-autoflowers-outdoors-tickets-884518076377

Join us at The Grow Room for an all-inclusive in-depth class that will teach you how to successfully grow autoflowering plants outdoors! This will be a smaller casual class, complete with demonstrations and plenty of time for Q&A's. Basically, for the cost of the products you’d need, you will get a free 2-hour course to help you get started.

UPDATE: Free seeds are all gone! Thank you to everyone who came by, it was a pleasure meeting all of you new gardeners!

We have a bunch of unopened organic garden seeds that are completely viable still, just packaged for previous years. FREE to members of the community! Just stop in when we’re open (12-6pm M-F, 12-3 Sat) to pick some up!

A major problem people face when growing tomatoes and peppers is blossom-end rot. There’s nothing worse than investing time, energy and money into your garden, only to find that all of your veggies have soft black bottoms in the end. There are 2 easy steps you can take to prevent this.

Lack of calcium is the most common cause of end rot. Fertilize with a natural calcium supplement such as oyster shells, or we often recommend a dual-purpose product like Seabird Guano or Super Phos Bat Guano. They’re both high in phosphorus which increases fruit size, while also providing high doses of calcium.

Make sure you’re not over-watering your garden. Let the top of your soil visibly dry out in between waterings. If you’re finding that’s difficult, next year make sure you add more drainage or fast-draining media to your garden (perlite, coco coir, etc.).

We were asked A LOT through the whole quarantine period for nice-looking countertop hydroponic systems so people could grow their own greens and herbs at home, or so they could do science experiments with their out-of-school kids without their apartments looking messy. Well, we found it. The Hydroplanter is “pretty” with its sleek bamboo housing and, more importantly, it’s a legitimate hydroponic system. It is a top-feeding recirculating hydroponic system that is “smart,” in that it has an app-controllable Wi-Fi plug so you can set up your feeding schedules from your phone. It comes with everything you need except for nutrients and a grow light, but we’ve got you covered on those! 😉
