Healthy Soil

Description: (website with lots of resources) Instructors - all ages

Contents: Soil is more than just a medium for growing your plants – it has a life of its own! Each scoop of soil contains millions of microbes that keep the tiny ecosystem functioning, which is essential for growing food and creating living landscapes. When we think about soil as a living system, we can better understand how its health can change based on how we treat it; healthy soil as a priority, soil is alive, what soil is made of, how do we assess soil healthy and keep it healthy
