Beating the Weeds

Hawaii Edible Landscaping News Release

The Molokai community is invited to attend the free online class, “How to Beat the Weeds Naturally with Ecological Agriculture” on Thursday, Dec. 5, 5:30-7 p.m. with David Sansone of Hawaii Edible Landscaping.

The class will teach how to let nature do the work to eliminate the weeds, reduce labor and costs as well as increase production, improve the soil, and increase drought resistance. Some practices covered will include the animal tractor system of weed elimination, cover crops, ground covers, and mulch crops that can be chopped and dropped to smother weeds.

Sansone has been researching, developing, and demonstrating ecological agriculture and agroforestry systems for gardeners, farmers, and native species restorationists for over 20 years in a wide variety of climates and growing conditions.
