Upcoming:
Tue Feb 5 @ 1:30 PM. “Soil Testing, Pots, Fertilizers, Tool Sharpening & More!” by TJ David.
The February meeting is jam packed with rosy info to get your garden off to a good start for 2019. World reknown rose grower and Co-Founder of the International World Peace Rose Gardens, TJ David, will demonstrate how to check your soil to encourage optimum growth, growing roses in pots versus in-ground planting, fertilizer and proper method to sharpen tools.
Members are invited to bring one quart of soil for testing, and one tool for sharpening. Soil testing will start at 12 noon with program at 1:30 PM.
More on February program: MLRS is privileged to have as our February 5th speaker Mr TJ David, the Rose Man. TJ and his wife, Silvia, are co-founders of the International World Peace Rose Gardens. He will be speaking to us about PH testing of our soil, soil percolation testing, starter fertilizers for planting roses, periodic soil cleaning and the best tools to make caring for roses more fun. He will also bring items for sharpening and cleaning our tools. Because we want to reap all the benefits of TJ’s expertise, those who want their soil PH tested, need to bring soil samples in a small container (quart milk carton,coffee can or plastic container) and be at the Senior Center at 12:00 pm. We will be setup in one of the small rooms. If you have a PH tester, bring that also to make sure it is working properly. At 1:00 pm we will move into our regular meeting room for TJ’s full presentation. Each member can bring one pruning tool to be sharpened and cleaned. TJ has a wealth of information for us so you aren’t going to want to miss this program. See you there!
All welcome. Bring a friend. Meeting held Amador Senior Center, 229 New York Ranch Road, Jackson CA.
