We have some exciting speakers coming to the Colum

We have some exciting speakers coming to the Columbia Basin Mixer on February 25-26th! Learn about Restoring and managing soil health by leveraging the benefits of compost with Jo Tobias of @rootshoot_soils. This workshop will examine the contributions of soil microorganisms and their many roles in plant development. ⁠
⁠
Topics will include:⁠
⁠
-Production of biodiverse compost⁠
-Leveraging well-managed compost piles via the production of compost extracts and teas as an amendment, fertilizer and bioinoculant source for your farm.⁠
-Combining other management practices that can restore and diversify soil life, such as cover cropping, with your bioinoculants.⁠
-Case studies of farmers who already began their journey with living soil.⁠

⁠Jo Tobias is a Regenerative Soils & Living Compost Specialist with the primary goal of assisting land stewards in understanding how they can play a role in soil health. Jo founded RootShoot Soils in 2015 and has collaborated with British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario farmers. Her direct tool for regenerating degraded landscapes is a well-managed, biodiverse compost. Compost can provide the foundation to kickstart microbial processes that stimulate nutrient cycling and decomposition when managed well.

Composting is Jo’s craft—she meticulously manages the whole process to create the ideal habitat for diverse microorganisms that promote plant health. Over the years, she has taught farmers practical strategies to leverage their biodiverse compost to restore soil life. Jo also combines the power of microscopy with her restoration efforts to ensure that she is on the right path to improving soil health.
