During this hands on demonstration at Long Hill in Beverly, Massachusetts on Tuesday, March 9 beginning at 6 pm, organic landscaper Javier Gil will teach the fundamentals of compost, soil microbiology, and why compost tea is the hottest new trend in gardening. Compost tea is used to promote beneficial bacteria, add nutrients to the soil, suppress disease and fungi, and increase overall health in plants. Javier will demonstrate how to make your own compost tea at home with a few simple supplies. Sponsored by the Trustees of Reservations, the fee is $8 for TTOR members, $10 for non members. Call 978-921-1944, x 4018 to register, or email bzschau@ttor.org. Driving directions may be found at www.ttor.org.
