Growing Green:
Compost – Building Your Soil
How healthy is your soil, and what can you do to improve it? One of the best ways to “build” the nutrition of your soil, and thereby increase the nutrient uptake in garden plants, is by utilizing what Mary Ann Ihm calls “Black Gold”- compost! We will discuss various techniques and methods to support the O-horizon by creating and maintaining an at-home compost.
Meet at Wellspring Farm in West Bend (address below).
Ages 18+
This program is free to attend, but donations are greatly appreciated!

Growing Green Farm Tour:
PortFish
PortFish is a nonprofit organization formed to address, and raise awareness about, issues and concerns regarding our current and future food supply. Their hope is to establish an independent, local, sustainable, and year-round food system in our community; developing a working model that other communities can follow. PortFish is experimenting with alternative growing systems, including aquaponics and hydroponics, that can produce food for our community year-round.
Join Riveredge on a tour of PortFish to learn about sustainable and healthy alternatives to food production and supply, and how to engage communities in actively exploring alternatives.
