Nurturing Friendly Soil

Traditional folk wisdom has it that a poor gardener grows weeds, a good gardener grows vegetables, and a very good gardener grows soil. In this workshop, Tyler’s vegetable gardener will show you how to become a very good gardener by creating “black gold” for your home garden. You will get hands-on experience with composting, cover crops, and organic fertilizers and a host of practical tips for how to use these techniques in your garden. Other topics for discussion include soil testing and recommended soil amendments that can alter your soil in a variety of beneficial ways. Bring gardening gloves.
