Coming up, Monday May 19th. This webinar will discuss a soil-health based approach to using soil amendments on organic farms. We’ll review the OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) list and go over common misconceptions about restricted and listed materials. We’ll also discuss how to use various soil health assessments to determine what amendments your farm needs, and how to identify appropriate organic options: • Standard soil test and Saturated Paste Test – chemical mineral content • Biological Assessment – microbial life • Soil Health Assessment – physical aspects You’ll leave equipped with the knowledge about which soil tests to do and when, and what the tests will tell you about your soil health and amendment applications. Join us to gain the confidence to craft the right amendments plan for your farm this year!
