You don’t have to be a soil scientist to know if your soil is healthy. Join Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District as they look at soil health at one of their Urban Greens Community Gardens, Marshall Greens. This short, virtual program might give you the tools to check your soil health at home. You’ll see how to utilize a penetrometer and shovel to measure compaction, infiltration rings to measure water infiltration, and a slate test to measure aggregate stability. Expect a few more tricks and tips!

The event will be virtual on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/MuskingumSWCD
