In these times of more scrutiny over what goes in and on our gardens, too few people recognize that mulch and soil play an equally important role in that consideration. In this 53-minute webinar, we:

• Introduced you to the Mulch & Soil Council,
• Explained it’s most important functions,
• Provided new and timely ideas for your 2012 editorial calendars, and
• Provided an opportunity to have your questions answered.

The Mulch & Soil Council hosted this webinar as a way for the garden media to learn more about the MSC and the Council’s certification designation on approved bagged mulch and soil products. Our guest speakers were:

Joe Lamp’l:           
Host of Growing a Greener World on American Public Television and national spokesperson for the Mulch & Soil Council.

Dr. Bill Fonteno:           
Professor of Horticulture at North Carolina State University and Program Director of the Mulch & Soil Council National Product Certification Program.
