SoilHack Gathering 2017
What: A weekend to share our passion,
knowledge, and skills for building healthy soils
When: 27 – 28th May 2017 (arrivals
welcome Friday evening)
Where: Brook End LAND Centre, Compton
Dundon – near Street and Glastonbury in Somerset
About: SoilHack is a knowledge sharing
network focused on soil. It is part of the
FarmHack movement and has been born
out of the need to save what soils we have with the best
information possible.
The first national SoilHack Gathering is taking
place this summer at
Brook End LAND Centre just
outside Street (near Glastonbury) in Somerset. We invite you to
come to contribute your experiences, share good ideas and learn
about soil regeneration. This is a DIY movement where we
collectively learn about soils and apply our learning in our own
gardens and farms. We try to bring the best research to life and
share it horizontally.
The Gathering will involve workshops led by
participants with practical experience in soil biology, biochar,
agroforestry, cover cropping and more. We will also create a
space to explore how to build the SoilHack movement in an effort
to defend, repair and build soils that are essential to life. It
is a not-for-profit event with financial support to enable
access and participation. Contributions are sliding scale
between £25 - £125 for the weekend including meals and camping.
