Applesauce canning recipe
The first and most important thing to do when making applesauce is
to pick the best, sweetest tasting apples so that there is no extra sugar
required. A good combination of apples would be red delicious, gala,
Fuji, Roma are a good mixture. Try not to use just one variety because
some are sweeter than others and others give off a great aromatic smell
to the applesauce.

benefits of worms castings and reveal the
amazing alchemy of worms turning waste
(kitchen, yard, manures, paper, cardboard etc)
turned into black gold. Starting with a review
of the materials from around your home that
can be used in the composting process, Kirsten
will bring her enthusiasm and eagerness on the
subject to show that with the right balance of
moisture, temperature, air, waste and bedding,
the process of composting with worms at home
is easy, fun and something that everyone can do.
(Kids love it!)
Similar to regular composting, composting
with worms also uses kitchen and yard waste, however with worms, they eat all the waste, it goes
through their bodies (a biological wonder) and they excrete a nutrient rich PH balanced fertilizer,
worm castings. The end result is a living fertilizer filled with beneficial microbials. It also breaks
down quicker than regular compost. Worm castings are a supreme amendment for anything that
grows in your yard and forest. You will never have to purchase soil amendment again.
Following Kirsten’s demonstration, Joel from J. Appleseed Food Garden Company is going to
give a step by step demonstration of the methods you can use at home using your compost to create
your own beneficial soil for your garden beds.
Marney Blair from Nevada County’s Green Gold Program, will introduce you to a wide variety of
different composting systems available from commercial products to ones you can create at home
with very little or no cost and how to use them. Marney will also provide an example of what to
expect to see at the various stages of composting and the wonderful soil end product you will have
at the end of the composting cycle.
From there, they will show you how to introduce your worm castings and traditional compost
into J. Appleseed’s low cost take home raised garden bed kits which will be available at the show at
discounted prices for show attendees.
J. Appleseed will demonstrate the advantages of raised bed gardening as well as:
• Show how to set up a raised bed
• Give examples of how to pest proof your garden
• Demonstrate the ways you can extend your gardening season with hoop houses and row
covers
• Explain how to use the different types of irrigation systems and there advantages and
disadvantages for what you want to grow
Come by the J. Appleseed Food Garden Companies and Wise Worm Farm booths at the Union
Fall Home and Harvest Festival to view their products, which are sale priced just for this event and
ask them any questions you may have or just to say hi.
Don’t miss this informative demonstration on Saturday from 1 p.m. -2 p.m. and on Sunday from
1:30 p.m. -2:30 p.m.
