Back by popular demand, Common Vision and GreenFriends are offering a
repeat of last summer's high impact Soil Food Web workshop with Dr.
Elaine Ingham. Farmers, orchardists, landscapers, ranchers,
agricultural product creators and distributors, waste management
professionals, and soil, garden and permaculture enthusiasts of all types, came from
across the country for a week of compost revolution.
* Understand Soil Microlife
* Increase production through top soil health
* Revolutionize your management of soil
* Enlist fungi to mine rocks for Phosphorus (for real)
* Reduce or Eliminate the need for nitrogen fertilizers
* Brew and analyze Compost Tea
Dr. Elaine Ingham is revered internationally as the preeminent teacher
of soil micro-life and how human survival depends on it. The innovative
authority on compost tea, Dr. Ingham has been educating the public on
the life of soil for over 20 years. An engaging speaker, she has
addressed audiences as diverse as the United Nations, Potato Grower
Conferences, and countless universities.
The M.A. Center is US headquarters for international
humanitarian and spiritual activities of an Indian saint, Mata
Amritanandamayi (known as Amma). The 180-acre grounds serve as an
educational hub for the Bay Area of sustainable design and practices.
Drawn by the site's beauty, accessibility by public transportation, and
the center's dedication to proceeds funding humanitarian
aid projects, hundreds of volunteers have joined to plant orchards
and reforest the hillsides.
