Hillary Thompson from Soil3 joined us at Bethesda Senior Center for our January 19th meeting at noon with a great presentation about Improving Soil Health. We learned why one should feed the soil, not our plants, and how organic matter will take care of the rest. We learned how Soil3 compost is made, explored why compost makes such a big difference in plant health and growth, and wrapped up with how much compost you need for different gardening scenarios. Since watering is a large part of nutrient availability and plant health, Hillary gave a rain gauge to every attendee. Related Images:
