SUMMARY:Free Workshop: Sheet Mulching
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to build rich soil where there was none before using a simple and effective technique called sheet mulching. In situ composting\, or soil building in the form of Sheet Mulching is a fast process of building fertile soil where there isn’t any\, converting lawn landscapes into active growing gardens\, or simply adding more nutrients to existing gardens. We’ll first learn about the principles behind sheet mulching and why/how it works\, then we’ll build a sheet mulch bed in the gardens at the Compost Education Centre with a variety of organic matter. Come ready to get dirty and do some shoveling! Free attendance to this workshop is generously subsidized by the CRD.
