Master Gardeners State Convention

Strawberry Hoop House Work Day

In June, Bob Zent gave us a tour of his garden. We were very impressed with how weed-free the first area was, the plantings in hay bales, and his extensive plantings of multiple types of raspberries, grapes, and the hazelnut and apricot trees he has planted. Bob stated that, with the lack of honey bees and other native pollinators, his raspberries are pollinated by mosquitoes. Bob gets his compost/soil amendment from Casper. We also had a discussion about bad winter storms.
