ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop will give you the practical knowledge to learn how to use recycled mushroom blocks to build healthy soil, sequester carbon, increase water retention, feed the soil web, your plants and eventually you! This workshop will cover the basic biology and then we will show you low-cost and low-tech ways to recycle mycelium mushroom blocks and other organic matter back into the soil and also grow delicious Vitamin D filled culinary mushrooms! These basic techniques require no special equipment or electricity, and can all be done outdoors using organic materials found on most farms and gardens. Let’s build healthy soil together!
