Dane from Flowerfield Enterprises was gracious enough to come out last Monday evening to Triple Ripple Community Garden to teach a group of us about making compost tea, which is a natural fertilizer that helps balance the bacteria and fungi in our soil. We were all very impressed by the depth of his knowledge about soil science and the beautiful interrelationships we participate in when we grow things. Compost tea is an amazingly simple way of giving plants what they need to thrive without synthetic fertilizers! We’re looking forward to making our own brews for gardens throughout the city, including Triple Ripple.
