Did you ever wonder what the term "healthy soil" really means? Spend time with the Institute's soil research staff and learn about what's REALLY going on under your feet (and around your plant's roots).
We'll share information on gardening practices that will build yor garden soil's carbon reserves and demonstrate how important carbon is. Carbon supports a robust and vibrant soil microbial community that can provide more nutrients to your plants. We'll also explore several different soils and composts to give you a hands-on understanding of what makes good soil great.
Be ready to get dirty... or rather, "soiley", have a good time and take home some new ideas and techniques to make your plants happier and healthier than before.
Bring a small bag of soil from your garden to be analyzed.
