Topic:  Soil is the starting point for gardening. Fertilizing is what we have to do to help the plants grow and prosper. Composting is nature’s way of recycling the leaves, grass clippings, and other vegetative materials that nourish the soil and bring it back to life. In this class learn about all three topics, plus when, where and why you use compost as a natural supplement. You will learn how to make your own compost and the details of how soils, fertilizers, and compost all work together.

Instructor:  Tom Harris, Ph.D. is Master Gardener certified by the State of Texas; a Master Pruner certified by the San Antonio Botanical Garden; Gardening Columnist: and a founder and volunteer for the Gardening Volunteers of South Texas (GVST).
