Report Interpretation
You may be interested in testing your soil or an amendment. You need to know what information is available when testing for soil biology. We show you where to find the important details in the report and what the results mean for your plant's health. The results of any test must help guide your next steps - having a clear understanding of your soil test results will help as you take remediation steps.
Why Soil Biology is Important
Interested in learning about Soil Biology and why we should manage this resource? We offer this free overview of the basic information on how biology functions to support plants. The foundational concepts; how the microbes interact with the plants, and why we pay attention to plant succession. We will also discuss when it is important to test - and when not to test. Plan on a fast 45 minutes!
Compost
We often refer to quality compost as "Hand-crafted Humus". Humus is the layer of organic material on the surface in unmanaged environments and is necessary for fertile soil. We can create quality compost to mimick the characteristics found in humus. You may be making compost, wanting to start, or need to know what makes quality compost before you purchase from a vendor. This two-hour class will cover the theory of composting, what starting materials to use & the ratios for your mix, how to measure temperature, when to turn the pile, and how to tell when your hand-crafted humus is finished.
Practical Soil Biology
This two hour webinar session is intended to teach the practical applications of soil biology. It is the perfect class for those new to soil biology or as a review for those using the practices. Those interested in learning the fundamentals of soil biology and how it applies to their gardens, farms, or landscapes will find this class fascinating and a quick two hours.
