Deeper Dive into Soil Health :

Evan Quigley runs a small scale organic vegetable farm in Wilton, Ontario and is obsessed with soil! At The Kitchen Garden Evan has observed fewer weeds, healthy plants not plagued by pests or disease, and greater yields. Evan attributes much of that to the health of the soil.

Join us for a deeper dive into soil health with Evan, as he shares the knowledge and experience with soil that has helped The Kitchen Garden farm grow and thrive for 13 seasons.
