Kristy Youman from Soil Land Food delivered a dynamic workshop on Soils to farmers and graziers from across the New England at recent workshops held in Guyra and Walcha.
The first in a series of workshops entitled ‘Reboot Your Grazing Landscapes’, day one explored the essentials of soils - understanding your topsoil, soil types, soil health and soil fertility and the 4 steps to soil success.
90% of participants said that their soil knowledge had increased, and they came away from the day with different strategies to implement at home.
‘We were really pleased with the turn up for both days’, said Elizabeth Rosser from Southern New England Landcare.
‘Kristy is a great speaker and delivered these workshops so well, it was really great to be a part of’, she said.
‘All who attended went home with a much better understanding and appreciation of soils as well as some practical advice’, said Elizabeth.
Day two on Managing Soil Health will be held in September – for more information please visit Southern New England Landcare https://snelandcare.org.au or contact Elizabeth Rosser on 02 6772 9123
