Sustainable Soil Management Workshop
Event on 2012-03-15 16:00:00
"The first step toward effective ecological soil management is an appreciation of the complex, living system known as soil. And to understand soil is to be aware of how everything effects and is affected by it. We are all part of the soil ecosystem." — Grace Gershuny & Joseph Smillie, The Soul of Soil
Soil (not dirt!) is literally the foundation for a healthy farm, garden, or ranch — the nutrients, microorganisms, organic matter, and structure within are what feed, nurture, and aerate your plants, keep them strong in the face of pest pressure, and ultimately lead to a bountiful, nutrient-filled harvest. Hence the old mantra, "feed the soil, not the plant."
But how do you get started? What are the keys to interpreting the soil test results? How do you incorporate cover crops, compost, crop rotation, and natural fertilizers into your system? And is this all economically sustainable?
Get answers to these questions and more at our upcoming workshop, taught by Mark Schonbeck. Drawing on more than 20 years of self-taught soil science, Mark Schonbeck is a scientist and writer with expertise in organic vegetable production and in organic soil and weed management. He also edits the highly informative Virginia Biological Farmer, available at vabf.org.
At the workshop, Mark will take a site-specific, biological approach to developing a sustainable management plan for caring for the soil. He will cover the benefits of an active soil life, practical nutrient management, cover cropping, organic mulches, compost, crop rotation, mindful tillage, and natural mineral and organic fertilizers, and more.Sustainable Soil Management for Small Farms
