AGRILIFE EXTENSION SERVICE SEMINAR ON FRIDAY, JUNE 10

  

The Texas A&M Agri-Life Extension Service is hosting a residential rainwater harvesting and turf management training seminar next week.

The seminar is part of their Healthy Lawns and Healthy Waters Program.  It is open to residents in Austin and Washington Counties.

The free event is Friday, June 10, from 1-5pm at AgriLife Extension Office for Austin County at 800 East Wendt Street in Bellville.

AgriLife Extension urban water specialist Dr. Becky Bowling said that attendees will learn about the design and installation of residential rainwater harvesting systems, as well as, appropriate turf and landscape species based on locations and other practices.

The training will also include information on how to understand soil test results and nutrient recommendations so residents can interpret results once the analysis is mailed to them.
