Austin’s 4th Annual Soil Kitchen

From Austin Resource Recovery –

The Brownfields Revitalization Office, a division of Austin Resource Recovery, supports local food gardeners by once again sponsoring free soil testing at this year’s East Austin Garden Fair. Soil testing is an important start for preparing garden beds before planting. Understanding what is actually in the soil provides gardeners with the information they need to successfully grow healthy crops for their families. The Soil Kitchen also provides tips for the best types of plants and gardens based on sample results and how to reduce pollution from common fertilizers.
