“…Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed…”

John Lennon song lyrics

Soil Kitchen

What’s in your garden? Find out with free soil testing

The Soil Kitchen, a three-day opportunity for backyard gardeners to receive free soil tests, will take place during the Fusebox Festival at 1098 Jain Lane in East Austin on April 10-12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. School gardens and community gardens can be tested as well, and the results will help you to safely and effectively start or continue gardening.
