Soil Food Web - for Families!Â
With Amy Luck-MacGregor of Spring Hill Soil Laboratory
12:00-12:45pm
Ever wondered about the foundation of living soil â those unseen critters beneath your feet? Â Plants rely on soil food web organisms for nutrients, pest and disease protection, communication, and even flood and drought resiliency. Â Come join Amy from Spring Hill Soil Lab as we take a family-friendly look at âwhoâ these critters are and the role they play in healthy, resilient ecosystems (including your garden!). Â See what they look like under the microscope and discover how you can bring these microbes into your compost systems to help restore life to our degraded soils and to grow healthier, more nutrient-dense food.
