Soil Food Webs and Composting class on Monday evening, February 5, 2012 at 7:00 PM at the Monroeville Public Library

As our March 5, 2012 meeting of Sustainable Monroeville at 7:00 PM in the downstairs program room of the Monroeville Public Library we will be hosting Jeff Newman of Steel City Soils.


 Class topic:  Soil Food Webs and Composting

from Jeff: "Join us for an informative class on the basics of your garden soil.  This 1.5 hour class will include a lecture by Jeff Newman of Steel City Soils LLC and some interactive group work.  

We'll be focusing on getting to know the site and soil at the Monroeville Public Library Food Garden.  Talking about soil fertility and plant interactions.  Then participating in a small group exercise to get you thinking about the underground city that is your garden soil.  You will leave the class with some new facts and some practical things you can do to increase your long-term fertility."
