Healthy Soils Workshop with Dr Liz Lakin

Join us in our brand new polycrub for a workshop on Healthy Soil. At the workshop we will learn about the different types of soil, why the chemistry of soil is important and do some soil testing. We'll also discuss ways to improve your soil. Our tutor will be Dr Liz Lakin from Dundee University.
Please book to ensure we have enough soil testing kits for everyone by messaging the page or sending an email to: [email protected]
Free event
To get the best from the workshop please bring along a soil sample from your own garden or an area you use for growing. Take soil with a trowel from at least a trowel's depth below the surface. Place soil in a medium sized jar, about 1/3 full, then fill up with water and leave to settle. Ideally, do this 2 weeks before. Try not to shake the jar on the way to the workshop as it's the clear water above the soil that we'll be testing.
This event is suitable for beginners. Hot drinks and snacks will be provided. This event will mostly take place inside our warm polycrub with some outdoor activities.
