“Organic gardening focuses on building healthy, living soil through compost and organic matter, avoiding synthetic chemicals in favor of natural pest control, and promoting biodiversity to create a self-sustaining ecosystem,” a press release stated. “Key practices include composting, crop rotation, companion planting, and using organic, slow-release fertilizers to nourish plants and soil microbes.”
Dr. Joe Masabni of Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas will present the program. It will be held on Monday, March 9, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Room 326 of the Anita and Truman Arnold University Center Building on TAMUT’s campus, followed by a question-and-answer session.
