Soil Analysis, Carbon Sampling and Designing for Resilience
Soil Analysis, Carbon Sampling and Designing for Resilience
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to accurately sample soils for comprehensive chemical analysis, including soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient profiles. We will analyze in situ the biological, physical and chemical properties of soils, including compaction, infiltration rate, soil texture and structure, surface biology, soil aggregate stability, root behavior, soil temperature and bulk density. This integrated approach provides a thorough understanding of soil health by combining quantitative data with qualitative observations. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about Landscape Interactions’ collaboration with Red Fire Farm to transform a portion of their working landscape into a refugia for at-risk native bees, butterflies and moths through the incorporation of biodiverse, perennial and productive native plant communities.

Go Nuts Bi-Monthly Community Call: Field & Fertility Plans
Go Nuts Bi-Monthly Community Call: Field & Fertility Plans
Join us for our Go Nuts springtime discussion where the group will be sharing plans and ideas for the upcoming growing season, as well as how to keep them alive and thriving. Fertility plans for agroforestry settings can be challenging due to a variety of factors, including: conditions for successful establishment, large pieces of land that may require different approaches in fertility, or how to keep costs down for organic-minded growers.
We love to hear about the different goals and arrangements of agroforestry sites in our region! Share your story, and listen in. What are you planting, or what have you planted? How’s your soil? Are you purchasing or making amendments? What about those foliar sprays? If you are seeking feedback from others, looking to discuss your successes or improve your methods, or learn from your agroforestry peers, this call is for you!
