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.
