2/3/2018

The class learned all about what soil is exactly (it's not the same as dirt) and its various components. They brought in samples of soil from their own yards and tested them for pH level, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Then they went outside and made compost at the urban farm!    
Up next -- February 10: Water: Slow it, Sink it, Spread it, Save it
Whether El Nino or drought, learning how to capture and use water can transform your garden.
Participants will be able to: identify the most relevant water capture system(s) for their property (may include swales, dams, earthworks, ponds, greywater); use an A-frame to identify contour lines (for swales), and know how to implement the best system for their circumstances.Cost: $40.Pre-register:

Soil is a very important aspect in gardening. You have to make sure that the soil is given ample amounts of water everyday. If you disregard the value of soil, then the plants will die very fast. Soil is the epitome of life and is the reason for giving birth to new organisms. I'd love to learn more from you, with regards to maximizing the use of soil when gardening.
