Michigan TOPP Network Partner EcoFarm welcomes Jesse Wiser of Hiwassee Products, Ian Hunter of Cure Soil, Chandler Michalsky of Wormies and farmers Josh Riddle and Richard Felipe to speak about building healthy soils through microbiology.

Building truly healthy soils can unlock tremendous symbiotic benefits from the relationship between plants and microbes, including highly nutrient-dense produce, carbon sequestration, water retention, and resilience in the face of stress, extreme weather, and pest and disease pressure. The use of compost extracts, compost teas, and other low-cost amendments to inoculate soils with beneficial microbes is a growing soil health practice with incredible potential. Backed by fascinating emerging science and proven through remarkable in-field results, these practices can be done at any scale and in any context, from backyard gardens to large commercial pastures, orchards, and vineyards. In this second session, we dive deeper into the process of creating and applying compost extracts, differences and use cases for compost extracts and teas, and learn from compost extract case studies. Featured speakers include:
  • Jesse Wiser of Hiwassee Products
  • Ian Hunter of Cure Soil
  • Chandler Michalsky of Wormies
  • Two farmers - Josh Riddle and Richard Felipe
