Advanced Workshop – Soil Microscopy
December 5, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us as we ‘zoom in’ on soil biology
Topics Include:
- Effects of chemicals and tillage on soil life
- Ways to bring soil ‘back to life’
- Evaluating soil structure
- Step-by-step instructions on using a microscope to study soil, compost and compost tea
A thriving soil biology is key to growing healthy, nutrient dense food. We’ll take a look at how soil management practices affect microbes in the soil, from tillage to cover crops, to chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Microscopes can give us a new set of eyes to see what’s going on in our soil, compost and compost tea.
No prior microscopy experience necessary.
