Gather outside Saturdays for a wonderful [email protected] under the historic Pine Tree with UFI founder Jon Albee. Regenerative gardening is the topic. Also discussed - the origin of nutrition is in the SOIL. The purpose of a growing medium or "matrix" is to fill it with the most desirable mineral and biological load possible. We have the ability to do this naturally! Diversity in our beds helps with the richness and balance in our growing medium.
