Is your soil ready for growing this season?

Join SCIMGA Master Gardeners Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 6 PM in the Red Room at the Bartholomew County Public Library to learn about "Soil Amendments for Great Growing". Register for online or in person attendance at: https://mybcpl.libnet.info/event/7818906

Soil expert Jamie Bultemeier breaks down the fundamentals of soil health and looks at some common soil amendments. There are many misconceptions and misunderstandings about soil health. This is also true for soil amendments that are applied in the pursuit of increased soil health and fertility. Learn what soil health is and what it is not.

Jamie holds a Master's Degree in Soil Science from Purdue University, is a Certified Professional Agronomist, and works as an Agronomist at A&L Great Lakes Laboratories.
