Let’s learn soil basics and interpret our test results together with Mark Dempsey, the Organic Technical Service Provider at Carolina Farm Stewardship Association. Mark will cover the basics of soil management, nutrient testing, and share recommendations for organic amendments to balance the chemistry and biology of our living soils. After the presentation, we will break into small groups to discuss individual soil test results, so please come prepared with your printed test results. (The tests may be from the NCDA or another lab. Ask for expanded version of test results.) Pat Battle will also join us to contribute to the conversation with his decades of organic growing experience.
Attendance is free. Please register at https://signup.com/go/ocUMKWR
