Hello Jeanie,

How are you ? We have met on the Global Soil Week. I hope you have had a fruitful stay in Germany and France after the Global Soil Week and that you have safely returned to Australia.

I am preparing some soil stories for the website and was wondering if you would allow me to post a link to your website on our site. Would it be possible to let me know what were the concerns of the people that have send in the soil selfies ? I have seen that there were a lot of worries about soil fertility. Were there other concerns ?

Did it work out with the school project ? Not to stress you, just to hear how things are going. I was very happy that you just considered involving the school children in our soil stories.

Take care, lots of greetings from Belgium,

Goedele

Delighted Dave.
I really do need Soil Selfies contributions to grow this collection 1 on-going – for people and schools to use and 2 in the short term for the Aussie Soil Selfies display at Global Soils Week Forum in Berlin mid-April
Sending you an email reply
thanks
Jeanie

Please keep up your good work on this very important aspect of environmental education! Please let me know how I can contribute. I work at Apollo Bay P-12 College where we have a kitchen-garden program running for students through years 3 – 8. We have a very productive garden that uses organic & biodynamic principles to grow food. Students spend 1 period per week working on all manner of tasks in the garden and then 2 periods in the kitchen cooking what they have just picked. The kids (& their families) love it. Looking after the soil (we treat it like a living thing which it is really) is the cornerstone to successful agriculture and horticulture so the more kids learn about soil and nurturing it the better.
