 2019 Back to Basics Series:  A Down & Dirty Introduction or Refresher for the Home Gardener

If you’d like to have a better understanding of the landscape outside your window, or simply need to blow the cobwebs off what you once knew about your home garden, this series is for you. Join us for an exploration of The Basics.

PART 4:  “Introduction to Soils and Soil Fertility”

Most realize that soils are the base of the landscape. But what comprises soil? How do soils differ in structure, texture, and their properties (physical, chemical)? Knowing how to work with the soil in your landscape is key to the establishment of healthy plants. Join UD Associate Professor and Extension Specialist, Nutrient Management and Environmental Quality expert Dr. Amy Shober as she explains the how, what, and why of soils.
