There is a Futurelearn free online course all about soils about to start next week (July 6th). I thought it would be highly relevant to smallholders, and worth the effort of 3 hours a week for a month (you can take any amount of time you want to complete it if you don't have that much time to spare each week). I'm looking forward to it

Have a look:

It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, but then these courses never are! It was more to do with how soils are formed and how we are abusing our soils world wide. Not much about how to care for them though. It was as if we had done only half a course, and still need part 2. Worth doing but I'm still hungry
