Youth Group Goes Bananas
On Wednesday, July 8th, a local youth group will be digging Banana circles! Yes, you heard that right, Banana circles. These are a creative permaculture way of planting tropical banana trees mixed in with sweet potato vines. The end result are plants that like each other and produce lots tasty fruit and vegetables.
