Soil Science for Gardeners--Jan 13, 1-5

[Hayley Currier]

So you're a gardener. You already know that soil is important. Now it's time to step up your game and learn about the itty bitty nitty gritty of soil health!

Join Urban Worm, The Institute of Urban Homesteading and soil scientist Paul Holowko for a special workshop.

In this mini-intensive you will:

-Meet the different living organisms in the soil and learn what each does to enhance garden productivity

-Learn how to brew and use compost teas to feed and proliferate these micro-organisms for specific results

-Understand nitrogen fixing and fungi life cycling

-View your own soil samples under the scope

Gain a wealth of information and inspiration to deepen your knowledge and appreciation of soil as the most important player in our garden.
