WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
- Understand the Soil Microbiome: Kevin will teach you about the soil microbiome including the major classes of organisms. These microscopic creatures are the source of “nutrient density” in foods and arguably your most important “livestock.”
- How to grow Microbiome: Understand the fundamentals of growing soil microbiome though various composting methods (ie static, thermophilic, and vermicomposting). Hands-on experience planning, building, and turning of thermophilic compost.
- How to reintroduce Microbiome: Understand various methods to reintroduce microbiome to your yard, garden, pasture, etc. and begin turning dirt into soil.
- Bringing People Together: Meet and network with inspiring people interested in learning more about regenerative agriculture and leveraging nature’s methods of creating nutrient dense foods.
TAKEAWAYS:
Every participant will leave the workshop with the knowledge and skills to grow their own soil microbiome through multiple methods. You’ll be well equipped to start converting your dirt to soil while energizing production of nutrient dense foods for you and your family.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Small class size ensures personalized attention.
- Hands on instruction from a certified Soilfoodweb consultant and Lab Technician also trained in Korean Natural Farming and Permaculture Design.
WHAT YOU NEED FOR CLASS:
- Please wear “work type” clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and appropriate outerwear for the weather (especially if rain is forecast).
- You'll be using some basic equipment such as a pitch fork, wood chipper, water hose etc. Everyone has different preferences, but if you have them, please consider bringing work gloves, boots/shoes you won't mind the possibility of getting wet, and a hat (sun protection).
- We will have water available all day, but you may want to bring your favorite water bottle to help stay hydrated.
