Bio-Dynamic Gardening
 David Perkins of Malibu Compost will be on hand to discuss Biodynamic farming theory and will give helpful tips for the home gardener.
What is Biodynamic farming?
From Biodynamics.com: "Essentially, biodynamic farming and gardening looks upon the soil and the farm as living organisms. It regards maintenance and furtherance of soil life as a basic necessity if the soil is to be preserved for generations, and it regards the farm as being true to its essential nature if it can be conceived of as a kind of individual entity in itself - a self-contained individuality."
Topics will include:
