Come explore tried and true tricks of the trade for organically prepping, restoring and sustaining healthy organic garden soil.  We will cover techniques to prep your soil, soil amendments, useful tools and specialized recommendations for growing a wide variety of plants.

Feel free to bring your own soil examples/samples, soil amendments you might be wondering about as well as your gardening questions.
