Soil is the foundation for everything we grow, whether it is vegetables, ornamental plants, or a lawn.  Retired Master Gardener, Mary Ann Van Berlo will speak about the importance of having good-quality soil for growing our plants.  Her talk will cover:  amending the soil, the importance of organic matter, soil pH, good drainage,  and a number of other factors that determine soil quality.   The black gold in the photo is leaf and yard waste compost destined for garden beds and lawns.
