Welcome to The Gardening Academy

The Gardening Academy is an online community that will help you do the following:

Grow a Productive and Easy to Care for Garden

Many folks I talk to would love to grow their own fruits and vegetables, but their early experiences with gardening were less than successful and a lot of work. Even growing a few tomato plants in containers on your back porch can be a pain in the neck if not done properly.

One of the biggest things you will gain from being a member of The Gardening Academy is the ability to grow a productive and easy to care for garden. We will start you small, learning growing techniques that will allow you to have a garden that is productive but still easy to manage and doesn't take up your entire weekend.

Naturally Control Garden Pests

Garden pests can be the bane of your existence if you let them get out of control.

  • Aphids
  • Slugs & Snails
  • Earwigs
  • Leaf miners
  • Cabbage worms
  • Grasshoppers

These are just a few of the many vegetable loving insects you will need to compete with in your garden.

In The Gardening Academy we will master the techniques that will allow you to naturally control pests in your garden with out a lot of harsh chemical sprays.

Tame that Jungle of Weeds

One of the most time consuming (and least exciting) tasks in gardening is weeding! I'm not saying you will never have to weed. Weeds are just a natural part of gardening. The Gardening Academy will give you ideas and techniques including:

  • Natural Weed Control
  • Mulches
  • Watering the right way

Dealing with Harsh Weather Conditions

Gardening is so dependent on weather! A hot spurt can slow production and a heavy frost can end your garden in one night!

You will receive multiple strategies for dealing with the effects of both the hot and cold with your membership in The Gardening Academy, including:

  • Shade Cloth
  • Mulch
  • Fabric Row Covers
  • Hoop Houses
  • Cold Frames

Proper Garden Irrigation

I once read, "there is no such thing as a bad gardener, just a bad water-er!"

You will learn the advantages and disadvantages of the following systems:

  • Drip systems
  • Sprinklers
  • Flood irrigation.

The Gardening Academy will have you watering like a pro, keeping your plants well hydrated without wasting water or watering weeds.

Utilizing Available Space for Maximum Production

Some people are blessed with lots of space. However, for most gardeners space is limited. Weather you have a big garden or a small one you need to get the most out of every inch of soil.

Enroll in The Gardening Academy to master the skills of:

  • Vertical Gardening
  • Succession Planting
  • Proper Plant Spacing
  • Containers and Raised Beds

Extending Your Growing Season

The average gardener grows vegetables and fruits usually from mid spring until the first frost every year. For may of us that growing period might be 5 months or less.

Simple techniques you will learn in The Gardening Academy will add months to your growing season. These techniques include:

  • Fabric Row Covers
  • Hoop Houses
  • Cold Frames
  • Green Houses
"I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your year round gardening class! I hope that anyone considering signing up will go ahead and do it. They will not be sorry! Not only is your course extremely educational, it is so much fun as well and just gets you really excited about being able to continue gardening long after the summer days are gone!
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire class. The modules are well set up and organized and the live classes are simply great! I learned so much from taking this course. It had truly never occurred to me to extend the season and really didn't know that I could extend it to the length that you've taught. I can not tell you how excited I am to have all of this new knowledge and I'm putting it to good work this year! I'm particularly appreciative of being able to go back to the modules as needed, even though the course is finished and I also love the fact that I can participate in future live classes. "

He alerts you three days in advance of the Q&A as a way of a reminder and requests questions be submitted based upon that week’s course info. Then during the live stream he answers those questions as well as any that come in during the live stream. I am looking forward to the release of his future courses and will definitely subscribe to his YouTube channel. "

Hi guys, I'm Rick Stone and I’m a gardening fanatic! Over the last 21 years I've grown a large garden at my home and it seems like every year that garden gets a little larger! Most years we grow between 800 to 1100 pounds of fresh veggies for our table and tons of great flowers to make our yard look awesome.

I grow all of my own seedlings and we have learned how to extend our garden harvest to 365 days a year. Even in our zone 6 garden! Growing in cold frames and hoop houses is the key!!

I'm a graduate of the Utah State University Master Gardener program and have been teaching classes for many years on gardening basics and year round gardening. For the last year I have been teaching courses online to nearly 1000 students. Come join me and we will learn everything you need to know to have a successful garden!!
