Soil is more than just dirt—it’s a living, breathing system full of microbes, fungi, and organic matter. This foundational class covers how healthy soil supports plant growth, stores water, resists erosion, and cycles nutrients.
You’ll learn:
Understanding soil as a living ecosystem
Identifying common soil health issues (drainage, compaction, drought stress)
Exploring the 5 soil health principles
Hands-on soil demo (slake or infiltration)
Participant Q&A and photo examples
