Join us for a hands-on, informative workshop that digs into the fascinating world beneath our feet. Together we’ll explore:
What soil texture is and why it matters for water, air, and plant roots.
How to determine soil texture by hand, using simple techniques you can replicate in your garden.
The roles of soil macronutrients and micronutrients, and how they impact plant growth.
Liebig’s Law of the Minimum, showing why the least available nutrient can limit your garden’s success.
The problems with synthetic fertilizers, and why quick fixes aren’t always the best choice.
The dangers of blindly amending your soil, including wasted money, nutrient toxicity, and unbalanced calcium-to-magnesium ratios.
What soil chemical tests reveal, helping you make informed decisions.
How compost can naturally boost your soil’s health and resilience.
Expect practical demonstrations, lively discussions, and tips you can take home to build healthier, more productive soil in your own backyard. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grower, this workshop will deepen your understanding and appreciation for the complex life of soil.
Join us! Together, we can create something truly special at Copley Community Orchard!
