A small disclaimer must be made, as usual, it is not my claim to take a university course in soil chemistry or agronomy, what I would like to do is keep a more practical, simpler and, if possible, more fun approach. Simpler does not mean less effective or not based on technique and science, I just leave the university courses to the universities. Furthermore, I hope in the meantime to be able to open fruitful discussions with the community that will make us all improve. So whether you are farmers or gardening enthusiasts, whether you have hectares of land or just a small vegetable garden, get on board and let's start our journey together! #soilanalysis #fertilization #agriculture I'll wait for you live on Friday!
