Rainscaping Iowa Training

The University of Iowa Press lawn will be featured this afternoon in the Rainscape training program—a certification program for landscapers who want to protect Iowa's soil. In addition to its rain garden, the University of Iowa Press will be participating through a demonstration of the deep tyne aeration process. A deep tyne aerator will be used to make holes in the lawn, which will then be filled with compost—perfect for the Press's flourishing lawn!

Did you know that a rain garden should be about 10% of the total area you want to enrich? Find out more at the Rainscaping Iowa website.
