Towards the end of last year we held the third Healthy Soils workshop in the series of workshops we are running in conjunction with Graminus Consulting. Jim and Nathan from Graminus combined with Dr Jason Condon from Charles Sturt University to present an entertaining and informative half day on soil interpretation. It was a very hands on workshop with participants learning the art of soil ribboning to determine the texture of different soils. Below are links to the notes handed out at the workshop.
Soil Interpretation Workshop Notes
Prime Fact – Determining soil texture using the ribboning technique
TFS thanks Charles and Lucy Knight for hosting us in the historic Collingood shearing shed at Gunning.
The next Healthy Soils workshop will be based around looking at soil profiles and will again involve Dr Condon. This workshop will be skills based and involve pulling up some core samples in the paddock. It has been scheduled for March.
