Amisha Poret-Peterson on soil microbiome basics

Growing the Valley

This week, we share an episode that was TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING (if you count continually rescheduling episode recording sessions due to various conflicts and then forgetting about it for a year as making an episode). Phoebe interviews Amisha Poret-Peterson with the USDA-ARS on the basics of soil microbiology. We discuss the complexity and role of the soil microbiome, bulk soil vs the rhizosphere, and more! Listen to hear some very amazing things.

Come to an upcoming extension meeting!
