The second classroom lecture of the 2022 Tree Stewards Course took place on Tuesday evening, October 11 at the Mohr Library, Johnston, RI.  Soil Management was the topic.   Students learned about the important physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil.  They were also instructed on how to take a proper soil sample, interpret soil test results, and implement test recommendations.  Next week’s class will focus on tree and shrubbery pruning. 

RITree’s Instructor Craig Hotchkiss explains Soil pH and its importance in maintaining healthy soils.
