SUMMARY:SOIL BASICS: UNDERSTANDING OUR FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT SOILS
DESCRIPTION:Healthy soils are the foundation of successful agriculture\, from backyard gardens to commercial farms. This course introduces participants to the fundamentals of soil science with a special focus on the Foothills and Piedmont of North Carolina. Through practical examples\, participants will explore soil properties\, fertility\, and management practices essential for both small- and large-scale agribusiness. \nLearning Outcomes:\nBy the end of this 3-hour course\, participants will be able to: \nIdentify the major soil types and characteristics of the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont region and explain their significance for agriculture and land management.\nDescribe key soil properties (texture\, structure\, fertility\, and water-holding capacity) and their role in supporting plant growth.\nApply basic soil science concepts to real-world contexts\, from home gardening and lawn care to commercial-scale agribusiness. \nInstructor: Dr. Greg Pillar\, Assistant Provost and Professor of Agronomy\nWhere: GWU Campus\, Boiling Springs\, NC\nCost: $99\nCredential: 3 CE credits from Gardner-Webb University
