[Central Coast CA Permaculture] Come transform clay soil next Sunday April 7th at 12noon to 3pm - Our Global Family Farm in City Farm SLO

[Teresa Lees]

Hello Permaculture People,

 

We all know the expression "Water Is Life." The same can be said of soil:
"Soil Is Life."

Soil needs life in it in order to have the right mix of nutrients to be
available to plants and plants are needed for our life.

Soil Matters. Here is a video from Kiss the Ground that explains Why Does
Soil Matter? <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pesqtODu_XM>

In permaculture, one of the primary goals is to "create the conditions for
life." With your help we can achieve that goal.

Your help is needed to transform clay soil into a living soil, teeming with
life. In fact, transforming soil is key in achieving the goals of carbon
sequestration AND also to feeding the world. Here is a short article to read
called:
<http://www.ecosnippets.com/gardening/healthy-soil-the-key-to-feeding-the-wo
rld/> "Healthy Soil Is The Real Key to Feeding the World."

 

Please come next Sunday to be part of the transformation!

Amanda Smith, M.Sc. of Soil Harmonics, (https://soilharmonics.com/) will be
teaching about clays soils at Our Global Family Garden starting at 12noon on
April 7th.  First we will discover more about the physical properties of the
soil at City Farm and discussing why these properties are different or the
same.  Then there will be discussion about how unique clay is and what it
has to offer to a garden and what types of challenges it can present.
Lastly, ways to enhance all the great things about clay will be shared.
