This workshop is for the gardener who has a basic understanding of maintaining soil for ongoing health and would like to take it to the next level. We will talk about how one can use a professional soil test and one's own deductive powers to figure out what your soils need, and don't need. You will learn how to save money, produce more crops, and take better care of your soil.
