Living Soil Lab, Cumbria
Kate Roberts
Kate began as a teacher, became interested in diet and nutrition for the neurological health of her students, and because of that, retrained in soil health. She ran a smallholding (flowers and goats!) where she trialled techniques that connected plants, microbes, animals and terrain.
Kate now has a range of workshops around the subject of building active, living soil, in particular:
- Using specific plant groups to boost soil life, which then boosts provision back to plants.
- Microbial groups to suit the stage the soil is at, how to grow them and application methods,
- Specific workshops also show ways to measure the health of soils and plants, including how to use a microscope so that farmers can assess their own soil.
