Soil Fertility for Gardens and Small Acreages

This 9-week Soil Fertility course will be taught by Dr. Clain Jones with a target audience of gardeners, small acreage landowners, and market gardeners (vegetables, fruits, and berries), although all are welcome.

This course will explain the fundamentals of soil properties and nutrient management, including how to diagnose nutrient deficiencies and determine the correct source, rate, timing and placement of soil amendments and fertilizers. Participants will practice using this information to select amendments and fertilizers in an ecological and economically optimal way for healthy soil and plant production.

The course will be taught online on Thursdays from noon to 1pm MT, January 22 to March 19, but if you can’t make that time, you can watch the recordings. There will be supplemental readings and other resources to enhance your learning. A certificate / badge will be available for those who complete the course and pass each module’s quiz.
