A workshop on the key characteristics of soil, their importance, and how to maintain healthy garden soil.
The soil is the foundation of a healthy garden, whether it is a lawn, a vegetable garden or a simple flower garden.
Bring along an ice-cream container of your vegetable garden soil if you would like to have it assessed by Roger.
Roger McLenaghen of Lincoln University, assisted by Josie Mazzetto, will present the workshop. Roger is a Senior Tutor in the Soil Science Department. He is responsible for the soil science laboratories for undergraduate classes, and lectures to Diploma students.
Registration is not required, you can just come along on the day.
The Lincoln Envirotown Community Gardens are located on James Street, behind the former Lincoln Maternity Hospital.
A donation of a gold coin to support our activities would be greatly appreciated.
