About this Event
For home gardeners, farmers, and all other stewards of the land! Soil restorer Joshua Stone will facilitate a conversation on the principles and practice of regenerative soil care, with a special focus on cultivating the soil food web and the link between intact soil biology and food nutrient-density. You'll get to see soil fungi and microorganisms in real time, view and get your hands in samples of biological compost, and learn how to set up a home worm composting system. There will also be a hands-on experience making a liquid compost extract for introducing diverse soil biology into your gardens or farm fields.
