Life in Soil:

Your Microscopic Farmhands

Imagine healthier plants, fewer pest problems, & less fertilizer applications. How? Soil Life.

Every acre of soil contains trillions of microorganisms, working with your plants to make mineral nutrients and nitrogen available, day and night! Bring a soil sample and learn to look at the soil food web organisms that make healthy nutrient cycling happen! This hands on, two-part workshop will teach you the fundamentals of understanding your soil from a microbiological point of view. Learn to identify and interpret the life in your soil through the use of a microscope, and how you can access the hidden potential of your soil by implementing specific management practices.
