About this Event
This hands-on workshop will walk you through how to get the most out of soil testing. We’ll go over the differences between standard fertility tests and soil health tests, how to read common soil test reports, and how to apply specific soil health practices based on your results, with time set aside for Q&A and discussion. You’ll leave with practical tools to make informed decisions for your farm or garden!
Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and their own soil test results for review!
