Meeting Activities: Speaker, Flower Show, Master Gardeners (available for questions)
Click here for Flower Show Details
Guest Speaker: Robert Pavlis
Topic: Understanding Soil
Robert will discuss the basic components of soil and what makes good soil, the importance of microbes in building soil structure, and how gardeners can improve this. He’ll talk about some common soil myths and ways to add nutrients to the garden. Finally he will look at a new topic in gardening – the rhizosphere. This is a thin layer around roots that will change the way you think about soil.
Robert will bring copies of some of his books for sale at the meeting (please bring cash if you are interested in purchasing).
