This session will also provide solutions. You’ll learn simple\, effective techniques for reversing soil compaction in urban gardens\, including how to improve aeration\, boost organic matter\, and create a healthier\, more resilient soil ecosystem. Whether you’re a community gardener\, balcony gardener\, or city dweller with a small backyard\, you’ll walk away with actionable tips to rejuvenate your garden soil and support better plant growth. \nJoin us to find out how you can turn your compacted urban soil into the perfect foundation for a flourishing garden. \nThis session is the first in a series called “Focus on Soil”.
