Our workshops are based on scientific research,
to help you enrich your soil's microbiota.

Soil is a giant living organism,
composed of billions of microorganisms that work in symbiosis with plants to transform soil nutrients into minerals.
Soils are naturally rich in nutrients,
but cultivated soils often lack the microorganisms needed to make them available to the plants.
Cultivating soil microorganisms means to harvest its abundance.
because vitamins and minerals present in our food are produced by the soil's microbiota, at the root system of the plants.
Our workshop will help you to uplift your understanding of how soil's microbiota works, and to put into practice natural fertilization methods adapted to your crops.
Workshop program
Morning
9:00 a.m.
Introductions.
Living soil: what is it?
Tour de table and presentation of what an healthy soil is, and the conditions in which biological life can thrive.
Cultivate the beneficial microorgansisms.
Bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes...You'll learn how to promote the development of microorganisms beneficial to crops in living soil and high-quality compost.
Practical course.
Together, we'll produce a high-quality thermophilic compost containing the microbial populations and nutrients needed for the natural mineralization of your soil and plants.
Afternoon
Observations of soil microbial activity.
We will observe the microbial activity of a living soil to better understand the interactions with root systems, organic matter and the mineral cycle necessary for your crops to grow healthy.
You can bring your own sample : 20g of soil/compost is enough to run an analysis (must be taken within 24 hours before the workshop to keep the biology active).
Oxygenated compost tea - field crops
Compost extract and compost tea are liquids produced by extracting microorganisms from high quality rich amendements that we produce. Learn how to make these "juices" and fertilize up to several hectares of land.
Improve your own compost
Is your compost not heating enough?
Are you curious about its agronomic qualities? or possible parasitic risks?
Bring us samples and we'll analyze them for you and give you tips on how to improve it.
