Building Better Gardens with Whatever We Have
Many of us overlook the many resources we have close at hand that can be used to build soil health and fertility.
Learn to use decaying firewood and windfall, shredded blackberry canes, flattened cardboard, piles of scary weeds, old (non-synthetic) fabrics like cotton sheets, homemade compost and compost tea, weed tea, rotting scrap lumber, human urine, and even rocks as potential resources for building soil fertility and better gardens.
Join Lucretia (“Lu”) Schanfarber in her gardens as she shares the many ways she builds soil health and fertility with whatever organic materials are free and close at hand.
Date: Saturday, May 2 (rain or shine)
Time: 1:00pm-2:30pm
Location: 961 Gregg Road (please park along the side of Gregg Road outside of the gate and walk in).
No dogs please.
