Fighting Climate Change in Our Backyards @ Rhythmix Cultural Works
Mar 19 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Fighting Climate Change in Our Backyards @ Rhythmix Cultural Works | Alameda | California | United States

Panel discussion with Birgitt Evans, Marla Koss and Damian Mason

The term “Carbon Sequestration” is the turning up everywhere in the fight against global warming.  It may sound intimidating or difficult, something to be done by governments or on a large scale, but it’s not.  Come learn how you can sequester carbon in your own garden soil by composting and mulching with the plant materials in your yard and the leaves that fall in our streets and learn about keeping carbon in your soil with no til methods of growing. In addition, we will cover the more advanced topics of Biochar and Hugelkultur to help make long term deposits of carbon to our soil. Birgitt, Marla and Damian will make the topic accessible to local gardeners .
