SOIL BUILDING, COMPOSTING, COVER CROPS, & SEED SAVING BASICS
On a biodynamic farm, we strive to create from the farm what the farm needs to thrive into the future. Building soil through cover-cropping, making and applying your own compost, and saving your own seeds supports a developing farm individually. In the classroom, Mac Mead will explore the relationship of soil science and spiritual science. In the garden, we will handle composts of different materials and maturities, build compost piles, make potting soil mix, and treat compost piles with the biodynamic preparations. Megan Durney will also present hands-on seed saving basics—vital knowledge for the future of our food supply and the health of our farms and communities.
