Beyond the Basic Soil Test
Tuesday, April 21
5:30-7:30 p.m.
Greenacres Foundation - Kennel House
8400 Blome Rd
Cincinnati OH 45243
Join us for an evening workshop exploring alternative soil testing methods, including the Haney Test and Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) analysis. These tools offer valuable insight into soil microbial communities, nutrient cycling, and overall soil health. We will walk through how to administer these tests, discuss associated costs, and examine how results can inform practical, on-farm management decisions.
As part of the workshop, participants will visit the Ley Field, Greenacres’ production garden, to see soil health principles in action and connect testing insights to real-world application
This workshop is geared toward farmers and producers, though all are welcome to attend.
Pizza will be provided.
Registration is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot.
