Join us for a Discussion and Demonstration about Garden Soil Improvements. This is outdoors at 1025 Merritt Ave., 10-11 AM on June 1, 2024.
We’ll start by discussing what the assembled participants are currently doing in their gardens to improve and maintain soil fertility, structure, and microbial life. Then, we’ll demonstrate some techniques drawn from permaculture and organic farming that can be effectively implemented in backyard gardens such as mulches, green manures, and increasing biomass of the compost pile. We’ll emphasize spring cover cropping with peas and oats, which will be visible in the garden for the demonstration and, if there is interest, can be purchased in bulk for distribution early next spring.
