This workshop with Lucinda Lewis (Wye & Usk Foundation) will give an introduction to carrying out some basic soil assessment tests with the aid of the Soilmentor App.
We will cover:
• Accessing information about the Soilmentor tests
• Simple practical tests that you can do yourself at home
• How to plan your soil testing regime
• How this can help with your ongoing evidence for the Sustainable Farming Incentive
• How the results of the tests can aid management decisions to increase farm profitability
We will be going out in the field to carry out these tests, so please come dressed for the weather!!
