Practical (and not so glamorous) training!

Our new Certificate 3 Horticulture students started their course this week, and were hard at work on day four.

This week we have started clearing out our 'Winter' Tomato crop in preparation for re planting. The cleaning out operation is a little earlier than usual but this is to allow us to make some exciting new changes within the compartment - more on this as it develops!

All of the students were enthusiastic participants in this particularly dirty job, but they will get to do the 'fun' side of planting and establishing the new crop. 

The next stage is to wash the compartment from top to bottom as we enter the sterilization phase of the operation.

Introduction to Commercial Tomato Crop Production

 

Our training year is now up and running and one of the first courses we are proud to announce is the 'Introduction to Commercial Crop Production' course.

This course is designed for the new entrant or 'novice' grower who wants to get to the basics of growing a Tomato crop.

The course has a theoretical and practical component and is ideal for those who want to broaden their knowledge.

There are limited places for this course, so if you wish to participate, please contact Tony Bundock via e mail or phone.
