Soil Testing By OSU Student Extraordinaire

http://digitalunion.osu.edu/r2/summer09/mason/

Check out this beautiful and informative website by OSU chemistry student, Tori Mason. She tested soil in the University Area community gardens for lead. She lists the results as well as important information regarding heavy metals and community gardens that everyone should read.

This work is a fantastic example of partnerships between community gardens and universities. Connections like this are waiting to be made!

Did you hear our Open Line PowerHour?

I just listened to the Open Line about "community gardening in Central Ohio…and access to locally grown food, with Franklin Park Conservatory “Growing to Green” Coordinator Bill Dawson, Local Matters Senior Manager Trisha Dehnbostel, and New Harvest Café owner Kwodo Ababio."
