Learn how microbes and bacteria help our health, water, air and soil.

Mud balls are baseball-sized dirt balls we make from dirt, water, leaves or wheat bran and EM-1, a microbial soil conditioner. Learn how EM-1 can help our waterways and how you can get involved. For more Greening Libraries events visit: http://greening.queenslibrary.org.
