Composting Basics and Soil Health - Instructor : Larry Baker 

Style : Lecture

February is the perfect time to start planning for the upcoming gardening season, and nothing matters more to your success than the health of your soil. Join this class to learn what truly makes soil “healthy” and why compost is often considered the single best amendment you can add to your garden.

We’ll cover everything you need to know about composting: what compost really is, why making your own is a true win-win, the basic equipment and simple steps involved, different composting methods, and the most common questions and misconceptions gardeners run into. You’ll also learn how and when to apply compost for the best results.

And because soil magic doesn’t stop there, we’ll explore additional easy ways to boost organic matter in your garden—even beyond compost.
