Description
Understanding your soils and soil health is fundamental for all farmers - but so often we have no idea what's going on under the ground. Join this short course to find out more about: - Soil health, soil microbiome and soil structure – and how these factors affect crop and animal health. - How to monitor and test your soil using easy and practical methods. - How to improve your soil using regenerative and agroecological approaches. Our facilitators are all experienced regenerative farmers, market gardeners and agroecologists. This course can be delivered over 2 whole days or a series of shorter sessions. We can design a programme that meets your needs. Costs are on a sliding scale. Talk to us to find out more.
