Soil Health Field Walk: No Till and Microbial Layers

Join us for this free on-farm event, where we’ll be reviewing soil management techniques, complemented by revealing their microscopic allies. we’ll start with a field walk to discuss practices such as using occultation and solarization tarps, pollinator/insectary plantings, and the use of leaf mulch as part of a multi-year weed management system to reduce plastic in the field. Along the way, we’ll collect some soil samples of interest and then analyze them on-site using microscopes, microbiometers (low-cost soil testing kits), and other biological tools.
