Carbon Farming Course

Living Soils

We regret to inform you that the 2015 Carbon Farming Course has been canceled. For any inquiries, please reach out to [email protected]. Thank you for your understanding.

Delve into the intricate world of soil biology with Dr. Elaine Ingham in the Living Soils workshop. This immersive experience explores the soil food web, composting, and compost tea technology in depth. Dr. Ingham, a renowned expert in soil microbiology, will guide participants through a comprehensive journey into understanding the biology and chemistry of soil, debunking myths surrounding soil food webs, and exploring the vital roles of roots in soil health.

In the Soil Food Webs section, participants will gain insights into topics such as soil management for disease suppression, nutrient retention, and the complex interactions within the soil food web. Dr. Ingham will shed light on questions regarding plant nutrient requirements, soil organism diversity, and the impact of succession disturbance on soil health.

The Compost and Compost Tea segment will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to create high-quality compost and compost tea tailored to specific plant needs. Dr. Ingham will delve into the intricacies of compost tea production, covering aspects such as maturity, stability, and the selection of appropriate compost materials. Additionally, participants will explore the applications of compost tea in various agricultural settings, from grasslands to orchards.

As a special addition to the workshop, Dale Hendricks will present a session on biochar—a form of charcoal intentionally created for soil amendment. Originating from the fertile Terra Preta soils of the South American Amazon, biochar has gained prominence for its ability to enhance soil fertility, improve soil structure, and promote plant growth. Hendricks will discuss the diverse applications of biochar and its potential role in sustainable agriculture.

Though the 2015 Carbon Farming Course may not proceed as planned, we remain committed to promoting soil health and sustainable agricultural practices. Thank you for your continued support.
