Soil Health and Management Strategies
Below are the slide deck and written resources from this past webinar.
Held September 11, 2025.
OVERVIEW: Healthy soil is what a productive garden is built on, and caring for it pays off over the long run. Our farm operations lead and senior farm technician explain how soil fits into the wider ecosystem and how everyday gardening can help or upset its balance.
The talk presents soil as a living, changing system, explains how people affect it and why it matters for sustainable gardening, and moves from soil biology basics to practical management so you understand what is going on underground.
Topics include:
- What the soil ecosystem is and why it matters
- How gardening practices affect soil health
- Ways to keep soil healthy and improve it
- Using cover crops in home gardens
- Building strong, fertile soil over the years
Beginners and experienced gardeners alike will leave with ideas and tools to care for their soil for many seasons. Both presenters answer audience questions afterward.
