September Digger arrives in mailboxes

By Curt Kipp — Posted September 16, 2013

The September issue of Digger has been mailed to subscribers, and the cover story this month is on plants that thrive in wet sites (PDF). Due to the prevalence of bioswales and other urban water features, many nurseries — native plant growers in particular — have been trying hard to keep up with demand.

Other articles in this issue include:

  • “Black Gold” (PDF) — Biochar could transform organic waste into an Earth-friendly, nutrient-rich resource for growers. 
  • “Continuing Education for Latino Nursery Workers” (PDF) — Educators bring scientific knowledge from OSU Extension direct to the workplace. 
  • “Getting Back to Basics” (PDF) — Marketing maven Casey Daline poses the questions you should ask yourself to re-focus your marketing efforts. 

You can also read this month’s flipbook edition of Digger (Flash required; fast connection recommended). Please send your comments on the issue to editor Curt Kipp at [email protected].
