Description
I remember when I first started gardening, I thought all I needed to do was just add compost to my soil and that was it. After I wasn't getting the results that I wanted, what did I do? Added more compost! It wasn't until I discovered that much like baking a great cake, where you need the right ingredients in just the right amounts that it was the same with soil. In "Building Soil from Scratch for Beginners" we will start from what exactly is soil and all the different factors that contribute to whether it is suitable for growing or not. Once we have an understanding of the components that make up soil, we will dive into what we can add to achieve a healthy, balanced foundation for your plants to grow in. From amendments, to organic materials to beneficial bugs we will cover all the bases. And we'll even take a field trip to the community garden where it all started for me and show you some samples of the kind of amendments you can expect to use and where you can find them. We hope this will be a fun and comprehensive start to your gardening experience that will set you up for success!
