Presenter: Wendy Mickle MicrobeGrower
Talk Description: A healthy soil food web is a complex and fascinating network of living aerobic organisms that create soil structure and nutrient cycling. In this lecture, we will talk about this hidden world of microscopic creatures and their interactions. We’ll discuss aerobic versus anaerobic microbes and look through the microscope to see these microbes in action while learning how they convert nutrients into a plant available form. Plus, I will share with you easy strategies that promote building a successful soil food web in your garden and compost piles.
