Part presentation, part live demonstration, this workshop will introduce the main players and principles of the Soil Food Web before looking at different composts and soils—with the aid of a microscope—to see what’s really living in soil. We consider questions like: Which soil microbes are responsible for soil aggregation? Which microorganisms mine rock for the micro-nutrients that plants need? Are fungi or bacteria better at providing nitrogen to plants? And does the kind of compost matter? Let's get a closer look at our soils—the good and the bad—to see what we can see, and to understand how to put the soil food web to work for you!

This class will be offered in the Co-op Community Room.

• The Community Room is located in the southeast corner of the Brio Building.
• You can reach the Community Room by walking into the Co-op, through the Produce Aisle and turning down the hallway to the right. (Complete directions will be provided in your RSVP confirmation email.)
• The room features floor-to-ceiling windows, with views of Jackson Street to the Riverwalk. It is a comfortable space, bathed in natural light, making it a perfect place for trying a new class.
• Four family-style bathrooms are located conveniently nearby.
