The January 2018 program guest is Tony LiCausi, a member of the Bella Vista Garden Club, a Benton County Master Gardener and a NWA Master Naturalist. The topic of the program is The Complex World of Soil and the large variety of unseen creatures and microorganisms that improve the soil and benefit plants by just going about their business. Soil amendments are discussed along with the importance of having your soil tested to determine what natural elements should be added to improve your soil. The PH factor of the soil also has an effect on the health of plants and that can also be adjusted based on the soil test results. Natural materials are discussed and how chemicals can harm your soil. How to build a good bed of soil from scratch is explained.
