This course balances scientific understanding with hands-on application, covering key themes essential for regenerative success integrating classroom education with real-world practice, making sure you leave with tangible skills you can apply immediately with an understanding of why you are using them.
Participants will learn how to analyze their own soil through site-specific testing and how to balance soil chemistry so that your plants, and the biological engine that supports them, thrive.
This tailored approach is designed to equip you with the knowledge to make informed, effective decisions for long-term soil regeneration.
Over five days, you'll explore three regenerative farms, each offering a unique approach to how they are integrating restorative food production
Earthworkers Hort 101 is an integral part of an educational pathway intended to empower growers by mastering soil health principles through the achievement of a balanced synergy between minerals and microbes.
Based on cutting-edge soil science that emulates natural processes, this course is designed to be accessible to both novice and experienced growers, as well as environmental advocates interested in leveraging biological methods for economic and ecological resilience.
Following the course, participants will benefit from online mentoring and a peer-to-peer network, connecting them with a community of like-minded individuals to ensure continued support as they implement learned concepts into their own projects.”
By the end of the course, you will have explored
the importance of utilising biology-first principles for improving soil health
the practices that support production of nutrient dense food
practical tools and strategies to use in your own regenerative setting
how to minimise inputs such as nitrogen while maximising yield
how soil health principles improve environmental outcomes
