Composting & Building Healthy Soil
Healthy soil gives plants the nutrients, water and oxygen needed
for growth and yield. Good soil is dark and crumbly, holds moisture
yet drains well. Compost, the result of the decay of organic

drainage producing a strong and productive root and plant. Learn

to amend and rejuvenate your garden and fix troublesome
landscape areas. Instructor, Mary Tessman, is a University of
