This discussion on soils will look at the contents to understand what makes the soil work with plants. Healthy soils consist of ground rock, minerals, clay and silt, the decomposed plant and animal material that fill the voids between the larger particles. Virgin forest soils consist of millions of bacteria, fungi and other soil organisms that convert the mineral and organic matter into food that can be absorbed by plant roots. It is the goal of this presentation is for the attendees to understand what makes soils work so they can apply the proper amendments and have healthy garden soils.
