Saturday, November 24Preston Andrews “Dirty Dancing: The Rhythm of the Soil
Summary: The living soil, including its microbiome, interacts in rhythm with plants to affect their productivity and adaptability to environmental conditions. Unfortunately, large amounts of this living topsoil have been lost to erosion from unsustainable forestry and agricultural practices. Join us for a slide presentation of microbiome interactions and other plant-soil relationships, including a discussion of our local soils.
Dr. Preston Andrews is an Emeritus Professor of Horticulture from Washington State University, now residing in Sandpoint, who has researched the role of soil quality on plant productivity.
