Steve’s Workshop
Beneficial Microbes: How to Grow On-Farm Biofertilizers and View Them Under a Microscope
Steve Diver is setting up a microscope this year, so we can explore the microcosm of soil life. Steve’s work at the University of Kentucky is inspirational, and we have mad respect for his experience bridging biodynamics in the ivory tower. His practical explorations of high-quality farming practices in the midst of our macro-cosmic experiences of biodynamic and anthroposophical theory are always enjoyable.
