Friday, October 10th from 2:30–4:30 PM at the West Tisbury Library

Healthy soil supports healthy plants and healthy ecosystems, but knowing how to measure soil health can feel complicated. In this workshop, we’ll introduce the UMass Soil Health Test Kit, a simple, hands-on toolkit for farmers, gardeners, and land managers.

Participants will see demonstrations of quick field tests, including measurements of soil structure, compaction, water infiltration, pH, and biological activity. We will discuss how to interpret the results, keeping in mind the unique sandy soils of Martha’s Vineyard. After the demonstration, the kit will be permanently housed at the West Tisbury Library’s “Library of Things,” so anyone with a library card can check out the items.

COST: FREE and open to all!
