For our April meeting we welcomed Interfaith Minister and Advanced Master Gardener Donna Katsuranis who shared the Power Point presentation “Composting and Soil Health.”
Donna has taught numerous Advanced Master Garden classes and has lectured throughout the Northeast to Garden Clubs and the Connecticut Flower and Garden Show. She is also a principal for the Kiwanis Giving Garden in Brookfield, which grows vegetables for local food pantries.
Donna spoke about the whys and hows of composting and the benefits to your garden and lawn. Composting can correct a soil that is too sandy or heavy with clay. We were shown the correct ingredients to add to our composting so that we could obtain a healthy mixture to use in our gardens.
