-Seasonal routines to build longterm soil health

You’ll leave with:
-Soil test kits for your own backyard or container garden
-Ingredients to jumpstart your own home compost system (chicken manure, rabbit pellets and/or worm castings)

Workshop will take place in the backyard and/or climate-controlled workshop building at our home in Woodland Heights near Forest Hill Park, depending on weather. I will send more specific directions to registered participants.
