Join Mark from the Organic Master Gardner Program in Stony Plain who will discuss the five components of soil and how each impacts soil development and plant growth.
Does dry, cracked soil leave you wondering what went wrong? Do aphids, slugs, and lily beetles leave you bewildered and reaching for toxic chemicals?
In this presentation you'll learn how to tell what the soil needs and easy ways to deliver it and leave with a plan to repair damaged soil and adopt nature's example for caring for the earth.
