Northern Gardening: Composting and Mulch for Soil Health
Building nutrients, helping retain water, making habitat for microbes, improving structure to help plants grow… these are all benefits of increasing the organic matter in your garden soil. How can you build and maintain organic matter in your soil? Adding compost and keeping soil covered are two great strategies! Join hosts Sarah Waddle to learn from local gardeners and farmers about their experiences making and using compost and mulch in their gardens.
Also joining the show is the Northwoods Food Project Director to share some exciting new initiatives they are working on to promote local food in Cook County.
Northern Gardening airs every 2nd Thursday of the Month at 7 pm, then again at 6 am the following Saturday. All previously aired programs are archived on our website to listen to at any time.
