Lecture: Introduction to the Soil Food Web Free conference
Workshop: Soil Food Web and Compost Tea Technology
“ You are not a gardener, a farmer, a rancher, a landscape architect nor a greens keeper instead, you are a soil manager.” Dr Elaine Ingham PhD. This distinction alone can change the way we wrap our minds around growing anything. We might be able to work smarter rather harder. Instead of being at the mercy of the soil, its present condition or having to rely on costly and at times dangerous additives we can use biology to enrich the soil. Healthy soil makes for healthy plants that resist disease and pests.
Does this sound too good to be true? Well it is true and not hard with proper understanding of the soil food web and how it works. Talk about having nature working for you with an age old tested, successful method. Although only three percent of the organisms in soil have been identified, we know that the combination of micro organisms, bacteria and fungi churn mother rock into soil rich with humic acid. These organisms co exist with the plant roots that exude sugars to power the little critters.
Dr Ingham is one of the leading soil biology researchers and founder of Soil Foodweb Inc. She is known as a leader in soil microbiology and research of the soil food web which she brings to life in her talks. She is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer. In 2011, Ingham was named as The Rodale Institute's chief scientist. Her passion is to increase fertility to soil, grow strong crops, reduce water usage, use composting to cut down the necessity of waste.
Soil Foodweb Fertility Solutions Class on Live WebEX
Healthy soil has all the interconnected elements of a "web", retaining and cycling nutrients into the right forms at the right rates for each individual while building soil structure, suppressing disease-causing organisms, protecting plant surfaces, producing plant-growth-promoting hormones and chemicals, and decomposing toxic compounds. In this class you'll look at the elements of a healthy soil foodweb.
Dr. Elaine Ingham uncovers the basic principles of the Soil Foodweb, plant relationships, and bacteria to fungi ratios. You will gain a fundamental understanding of the way soil biology drives plant nutrition, you will learn how modern agriculture selects for disease and pests. This will be a contribution to anyone wanting a more complete understanding of soil health and healthy plants.
