Summer Meeting 



A DOUBLE HEADER BY THE LAKES 



WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17 



/ 



^r t's a double 

 header this year. 

 Ihe 1994 New Hamp- 

 shire Plant Growers' As- 

 socialion will be the 

 guests of Ed Person 

 at Ledgeview Farm, 

 Moultonboro and Bill 

 Stocknnan at Spider 

 Web Gardens in Cen- 

 ter Tuftonboro 



Ledgewood grows 

 bedding plants and 

 vegetables and builds 

 a range (nine sizes 

 now! of hoop houses 

 The years bedding 

 plant business will be over, but 

 the vegetables will be in full swing, 

 so there's plenty to see. But Ed's 

 emphasis will be on the technical 

 operation of the place — not neces- 

 sarily the newest machine — but in- 

 expensive alternatives an owner 

 can do himself. And at a quarter of 



Ledge- 

 of such 



ike roll- 

 on the 



the cost 

 wood is ful 

 things. 



...things 

 up sides 



greenhouses, flood 

 benches (at a dollar 

 per square foot rather 

 than five), rolling 

 benches, germination 

 chambers, stack bas- 

 ket holders (the 

 space they take up 

 makes a profit while 

 allowing more sun- 

 ght to reach your 

 other plants), a Little 

 Machinery automatic plug seeder 

 (for those who may not want to 

 buy in plugs). None of this sounds 

 spectacular — it isn't: spectacular's 

 usually expensive — but small things 

 add up. And when you can do 

 them yourself, they add up even 

 more.
