Tomas Triana (in bright yellow T-shirt) and fellow Eagle Scouts are working hard today, replacing the old split-rail fence for Tomas' final Eagle Scout project. RRHC is very grateful for this because the old fence was rotting and falling apart! The new fence is looking beautiful! Final photos to come. Good job guys!

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!

This KKDV interview with Tyler Snortum-Phelps is only about 4 minutes but is a wonderful and efficient overview of permaculture and our 6-part workshop series, taught by our own master gardener, Marian Woodard!
