Class Description

Did you know that soil acidity – the pH of your soil – can affect the availability of soil nutrients to your plants? Did you know the basic elements needed for the health of the human body are the same ones that your vegetable plants need, too? Kirsten Conrad, Extension Agent for Arlington and the City of Alexandria Agriculture/Natural Resources, offers some easy lessons on how to achieve optimal conditions to maintain soil fertility for healthy plants. She also explains the soil nutrient analysis services available to you through Virginia Cooperative Extension that can help.

We know there is an ongoing problem with the registration process via Zoom that requires folks to double register. We create the original registration form about a month before the class is scheduled. Unfortunately, the presenters aren’t usually ready to share the class resources until the week of the class.  When we edit the registration email to add the resources, it results in forcing folks who registered before the revised mailing to re-register. Our apologies!

After you register,

  • You will receive an immediate email Zoom confirmation with the link to the class and some registration questions.
    PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION – make sure to check your SPAM folder.
  • You will receive a reminder confirmation with resource materials the day before the class.
  • Please add events@mgnv.org and webmaster@mgnv.org to your address book, so that emails from MGNV do not go into your spam or junk folder.

Registration stays open until the end of the meeting.
