Next Sunbow Farms Workshop: Living Soils; An Introduction to Biology and Chemistry

This weekend's workshop:
LIVING SOILS: BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY: AN INTRODUCTION
February 17 - Instructor: Harry MacCormack

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 its 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?
-What's really going on with soil chemistry?
-Micro interactions, composts and compost teas
-Harvesting for fresh use and natural storage
-Designing the layout, planning a timeline
-Your role in continual creation

10-3pm, $30/at the door. college student/$25, bring lunch, pre-register through www.sunbowfarm.org or sunbow@peak.org

Seeds are available for sale.
