Black Earth Day, Seed To Soul
When : April 18th, 10am-3pm
Where: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, 500 S Stone St, Spokane, WA 99202

What’s Happening: We'll be showcasing wool pellets, a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers that retain water, release nutrients slowly and repel slugs. This is part of our work using what nature already provides to do the work of manufactured materials while supporting hardworking farmers.

We'll also be giving away sample pellet packs to those interested in joining our Citizen Scientist project!

How does it work? You'll use the pellets as directed in garden plants while growing the same plants without pellets alongside them. Once a month you'll check in by filling out a short form to help us collect data on the effectiveness of wool pellets in home gardens,fruit orchards, vineyards or small acre farms. Come by and talk with us to learn more.

Wool pellets provided by Hop’n Ridge Ranch, Deer Park, Shane and Stacey Carpenter

Hop’n Ridge Ranch is a small family-owned and operated farm with a pellet mill.
