Will Bakx will be presenting the healthy soils and carbon sequestration sections of the next online Rescape Design Qualification Training.

Carbon Farming

Increasing organic matter in our soils helps building healthy soils:

• Conserve water
• Reduce erosion
• Improve soil structure
• Diverse, abundant microbial population
• Optimized nutrient management

Increased soil organic matter also takes CO2 from the atmosphere and sequesters it in the soil, thereby helping to reverse climate change. Wise use of compost and mulches helps to carbon farm.

Carbon farming found its roots right here in Marin County through the Marin Carbon Project

Getting started with carbon gardening

We can also do our part of carbon sequestration in the backyard. The same principals apply.Hereis an educational article that will get you going.
