Marin Soil Solutions Announces they are Presenting Soil Workshops
San Rafael, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) July 14, 2011
Marin Soil Solutions will be hosting a gardening and soil workshop called “Building Soil for Better Gardens.” The programs will be presented by “The Soil Sisters,” Linda and Norma Novy.
The first workshop will be held at the Marin Soil Solutions office at 3095 Kerner Blvd., Suite B in San Rafael on Sept. 17. The main focus of this training will be a comprehensive approach to “understanding soil” so that home gardeners are better able to improve and manage their edible and ornamental gardens. Other topics will include: building compost heaps, benefits of aerated compost tea, planting fall cover crops, and what cool season crops to plant in the fall. There will be a wide range of organic soil amendments, quality gardening tools, and vermicompost available for sale. The class will include lectures, power points, and demonstrations. Refreshments and great garden community networking!
The second workshop will be held at Fairfax on Sept. 24, focusing on field training and hands-on experience in the garden and soil. Class participants will learn how to assess a garden’s state of health by reviewing its soil, biodiversity, plant vigor, and other factors; build a compost pile; make a mini-batch of aerated comfrey tea; set up a worm bin; and overview a fall gardening checklist. They will also learn how to start a cool season crops in containers, in ground, and in cold frames. Cover crop seeds and vermi-compost will be available for sale. Participants are encouraged to bring questions from their own gardens to both workshops.
Marin Soil Solutions workshops run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and cost $ 150. The company will provide drinks and snacks, and participants may wish to bring a bag lunch.

Aw, this was a really great post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
