Here is a photo taken back in February when soil ecologist Dr Christine conducted a Soil Health masterclass at our place. It was a dry summer, but you can see deep rooted, summer active chicory and plantain that are feeding the soil food web liquid carbon. These are two plants that we included in our cool season cover crop that we planted back in March when there was moisture and warmth. Both have germinated and we we are looking forward to greener inter rows this summer. If the microbes in the soil food web have a food source then they can help the vines out with pest, disease and nutrition services.
