Sunbow Farms Workshop: Living Soils, Biology and Chemistry; an introduction
LIVING SOILS: BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY: AN INTRODUCTION
JUNE 25 - Instructors: Shepard Smith and Harry MacCormack
This team has taught and lectured around this country and internationally on these subjects. Shepard’s presentations are known for their depth of wisdom based in years of field experience. Harry’s grasp of the complexities of these topics were first unveiled in his classic book "The Transition Document: Toward An Environmentally Sound Agriculture", in it’s 3rd edition, currently being greatly revised and updated.
This workshop covers in 4 hours what it takes sometimes days to cover in other Soil Food Web oriented workshops. The material is essential to understanding how and why the dominant NPK paradigm and synthetic chemical practices work against a durable agricultural future. The microherd is our ally as we move away from inexpensive petroleum inputs.
-Who are the microherd?
-How do they work for you?
-Land management as a balancing act
-What’s really going on with soil chemistry
-Micro interactions, composts and compost teas
-Your role in continual creation
