Kurtis will be covering three topics as part of this discussion: 1) garden health, 2) regenerative gardening (restoring an inactive garden), and 3) introducing to the audience Steve Solomon’s book The Intelligent Gardener: Growing Nutrient-Dense Food (compost is good, but introducing eleven minerals, in the right proportion based upon a soil test, is the missing link to J. I. Rodale’s method of providing the nutrients the micro life, plants, and humans need for a healthy existence).
Kurtis has been producing food and gardening since 1969. Since 2005 it has been his hobby, and since 2015 his full-time job. He moved from his home state of Michigan to Little Rock, and in 2022 moved to Tucson where he has a small garden and large compost pile at his home. He now rents a garden plot at the Rincon Heights Community Garden and heads-up the composting area for the garden.
