Simple Diagnosing and Improving of Your Garden Soil

Here is a chance to learn how to analyze and improve your home soil by simple sight, feel, and some inexpensive garden soil test kits. Bring your own soil to the workshop (about 2 quarts) and find out the soil’s texture, organic matter content, it’s pH and basic nutrient content, and how to amend your soil for better plant growth.

Taught by SDHS board member Bill Homyak, retired professor of the Landscape and Nursery Technology Program at Southwestern College. Bill has taught the class of “Soils” at Southwestern College for over 30 years.

To be held rain or shine.

Bring the following:

Wear old clothes and prepare to get a little dirty.
Soil sample - approx. 2 quarts.
An empty glass jar and lid (jelly jar is fine)
Garden gloves
Old towel to clean off your hands
Drinking Water
Closed-toe shoes are REQUIRED
