Soil Education Course
In this series, we review everything soil related. We discuss everything from the big picture (soil history, ecological succession, ecology) to the microscopic (Protozoa, Nematodes, Bacteria, Fungi, and more!).
Then, we focus on what to do, how to improve, and how soil testing plays a key role in developing your soil management system to be easier, simpler, and much more cost-effective than conventional ways of farming. This section includes detailed conversations on compost, making compost tea, conservation tilling, and other practical regenerative techniques.
Get the full comprehensive course that covers Ecological Succession, Nutrient Cycling, Soil Microbiology, Soil Management, and a Life Focused Approach to Land Management.
*Includes all 5 Chapters*
In this chapter, we’ve included a 4-part series on Ecological Succession, the history of the soil, studies on ecology, and what important role the soil’s history plays in our agriculture practices today.
Chapter 2 discusses the natural nutrient cycle in detail. In this course, we begin our series on soil microbiology, including Bacteria, General Fungi, and Mycorrhizal Fungi.
This Chapter completes the soil microbiology series by focusing on the higher level organisms: Protozoa and Nematodes. Then, we take a deep dive into different testing methods, what those test results mean, and how to interpret your soil sample results.
In Chapter 4, we begin the conversation on different soil management practices, like Compost, Compost Teas, and Extracts (what they are and how to make them), Tilling, and other useful Regenerative Practices.
In this final chapter, we discuss how to transition to a regenerative and life-focused approach. In doing so, we have a heavy focus on Biological Inoculation and Soil Amendments. This chapter also includes a review all of the information presented since Chapter 1.
