Home & Garden - The Nitty Gritty of Gardening - Soils, Fertilizers and Compost

Soil is the starting point for gardening. Fertilizing helps 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. This class covers all three topics, plus when, where and why to use compost as a natural supplement. You will learn how to make compost and the details of how soils, fertilizers and compost all work together. The instructor is Dr. Tom Harris.
