Here in Central Texas our soils are in desperate need for more fungal presence. This would ensure a strong diversity of soil cooperators active in the soil food web, breaking down organic matter and feeding your plants! For those reasons you should consider constructing a Johnson-Su Bioreactor. Join us as we learn about the process for building a passive composting system that will nurture your soils to new found successes as well dive into the methodology behind this wonderful composting process! 

We will have a bunch of Mushroom Blocks for people to use to get started. You can make a donation here AND PICK UP AT THE NATURAL GARDENER.
