Kate Roberts

Pasture for Life Mentor

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.
