Ventura Cooperative Delivers Mulch and Soil

There is no reason not to do it if you care for your soil, your plants, your environment and the earth.  We'll make it even easier by doing it for you.  Get a truckload of public mulch delivered and spread out in your yard.  You watch.  We work.  Let's make Ventura a beautiful and soil rich community one landscape at a time.

When we're finished your garden looks great because it's healthy and protected, and ready for the El Nino rains everyone is waiting for.  Protecting the soil is the most overlooked way of restoring balance to the ecosystem.  Learn more here: http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/12/04/world-soil-day-champions-untapped-resource-solve-climate-crisis

Mulch, mulch, and more mulch!  Everything in the food soil web benefits.  From humans to micro-arthropods!  Here at Ventura Cooperative, we made a lot of rich soil in 2015, and we want to continue making more in 2016.

Compost Tea: Life Under The Microscope

After attending the Center For Regenerative Agriculture's workshop on compost tea with Elaine Ingham as the featured speaker, we're totally geeking out on the science behind compost tea.

It is amazing to see life under the microscope.  Microbes swimming, spinning and squirming around pieces of fungal strands and small pieces of debris.  It's a moving universe of activity.

Soon we'll be posting pictures of what we find down there.  Though we're being scientific about our approach to brewing tea, we're still trusting our sense of smell and touch.  Organic gardening is a perfect blend of head, heart, and nose.

Come see us at the 4th of July street fair, or at the Ventura County Fair.  Or call us at 805.765.1892.  We've got some in the brewer for you!
