Oak Creek has been used by the organic farming and gardening class for several seasons. Every class plants on the same plots each year and adds compost and fertilizer to the soil each time. At the end of the season, dead plant remains are tilled into the soil after they have been topped, adding more organic matter to the soil.
Along with in ground organic matter, large amounts of compost and mulch are added to the garden plots along with organic fertilizers. Excessive additions to the soil can actually detrimental to soils if you are not careful. Too many additions can acually impact the soil pH, which is not always a good thing.
