Did you know that our native soil – Piedmont Ultisols – is the ‘ultimate’ soil. And you were thinking this nasty red clay soil is the worst thing to happen since the Beetles split up. Nope. Red clay GOOD …
It all begins and ends with the soil. The Soil Class covers:
- Components of ultisols
- Ideal soils composition
- N:P:K and micronutrients
- Amending soils to meet your goals
- Nutrient additions for certain plants/crops
- Nutrient additions using organic and inorganic fertilizers
- Composting to generate your own nutrients
- Free bulk sources of nutrients and mulch in the Greenville Area
- Methods to deter pests using additives
See our Online Store for Dates and Times for the Soils Class or for Class 2 of the Veggie Course which is the exact same course. There are 3 dates to choose from, and the price is $35 for 1.5 hours of instruction plus a notebook with all slides and handouts.
Winter/Spring Registration begins December 20th. Summer/Fall Registration begins June 20th.
