Advanced Workshop – Soil Microscopy

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.
