BROOKINGS, S.D. — SDSU Extension will host a garden soil health presentation June 19, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the SDSU West River Ag Center in Rapid City (1905 Plaza Blvd., Rapid City, SD 57702).
The free event will focus on why soil health is important and how to achieve it. The public is welcome.
“This presentation will review and contrast examples of poor soil health versus good soil health and why it is important for food security,” said Anthony Bly, SDSU Extension Soils Field Specialist and the event’s presenter.
Bly explained that soil health parameters will be reviewed and examples of management practices for improved soil health will be provided.
“I hope that this presentation will challenge participants’ thought processes as I provide them with information on alternative approaches in soil management,” Bly said.
The event is open to all interested members of the public.
RSVP is appreciated to ensure sufficient space. To RSVP, call or email Aimee Ladonski, SDSU Extension Volunteer Development Field Specialist at aimee.ladonski@sdstate.edu or 605-782-3290.
