Soil: A weekend Workshop on Soil life @ Asthall Manor

• Events Home

Venue:- Asthall Manor, Burford, Oxfordshire, OX18 4HW
Join us here at Asthall Manor for a weekend voyage, deep into the living soil beneath our feet, investigating all that lives there and the composts that best feed it for our food-growing needs.
A good understanding of soil health and composts is the foundation to growing healthy, nutritious (aka tasty) food. Healthy soil means healthy plants, means healthy people.
In this immersive two-day workshop you will study the basics of soil science and the life that supports it. Bringing a sample of your own garden soil (optional), you will learn how to identify its type, characteristics and needs. You will also learn the basics of different composting systems and other sources of healthy organic matter, alongside a bit of helpful theory.
You will also carry out some fun, practical work to apply your learning and to help keep our living soils happy, here in the kitchen garden.
