Soil is alive, and creating the right conditions for the underground community to flourish helps new plants thrive. Come learn the basic techniques of layering for weed control, grass removal, gradual breakdown of nutrients, and the additions required for a healthy, diverse soil crumble. Expect to learn how to maintain a newly sheeted area, how long it will last, and how to design by ‘patch-working.’ Learn how tilling with machinery is a viscous cycle – worms are our tilling friends!
