Mulch and mulch making is life generating work on the farm and in the garden! In this Land Lesson, the good ground cover will be our teacher as we learn conservation, “recycling”, soil science, and how to unlock nutrients that are already there.
In this Land Lesson, participants will explore what mulch does on the micro level and how this agricultural practice applies to liberation work by teaching us how to be resourceful, patient, and letting things go that would be better off decomposing!
This Land Lesson will include a slideshow presentation and outdoor work of cutting grass or harvesting mulch material from the forest. Expect to use rakes, machetes, chainsaws, or shears.
