Business Meeting & Speaker: Liz Tankel
“The Dirt on Dirt”
Presented by: Programs Committee
Chair: Bonnie Keen
Overview: Liz will present on soil, the basic building block for plants. She will also touch on composting your own soil as well as how to choose safe bulk or bagged soils at home and garden centers. Liz Tankel has been gardening the same 2.5 acre plot of land since 1986, using native plants where possible, in addition to flow-ers and fruits and vegetables. She composts all kitchen and garden waste, and this material is utilized in all of her beds. The Tankels do not use any lawn chemicals or pest control or synthetic fertilizer. Liz became aware of toxic contamination in bagged soils when she worked on a project with activist Darree Sicher, who focused on the application of municipal sewage on agricultural fields.
