SOILstart 
for food growing
Th
is is a course at our demonstration Market Garden in Berkshire - public transport options are limited.
Please note, as a small non-profit organisation, it's not sustainable to offer refunds.
If you need to cancel your place up to one month of the course, you will be offered a credit towards another workshop.
After that time, we can only offer a credit if we have been able to re-sell your place on the course.
We will be taking a tour of the market garden, with an opportunity to ask questions as we go round.
Please wear sturdy footwear and dress for all weathers!
60% of this course is outside, and the ground is uneven. We will spend some time indoors with slides, books and discussions.
Refreshments provided.
The venue is rural and the nearest shop is a 10 minute drive away (Lambourn).
The nearest train station is Didcot or Hungerford. It is very difficult to reach this venue on public transport.
Our regenerative methods of growing food are centered entirely on building soils; quality and quantity, without the use of chemicals.
By following our methods, you can create healthy, weed free and nutritious soil full of life.
building soil quantity
building soil quality
increasing pest resilience
natural feeds and fertility without chemicals
reducing your own work load
increasing drought resilience
This benefits food growing as it increases your crop quantity, health and speed of growth, as well as minimising pest and disease damage.
We will be outside, undertaking some practical tasks and activities, as well as discussing theories for healthy soilds.
This is not a deep science soil session - Elaine Ingham offers incredible expensive courses for this - it is a very practical guide which you can apply at home or in your market garden which will increase your produce and reduce your work.
Quick wins for minimal expense and time.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener, grower or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone interested in sustainable soil management.

Testimonials
:
Lovely course, thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend :)
Lyndsey, Berks
I would recommend edge (formerly incredible edible) to anyone. I have never been a very confident gardener but the courses I have done have provided me with such a wealth of information and expertise that I now feel encouraged to give things a go.
Lorna, Wantage
"Very interesting and supportive. It has given me the confidence to research and try things I hadn't thought about before. Thank you Rachael"
Sarah, Berkshire
"Urban Design OBU benefited greatly from a workshop on urban food production using the UFP toolkit by Rachel Hammond of Edge landscaping. The students managed to develop a masterplan for a global city site measuring the productivity of their designs, management issues as well as understanding the social and environmental benefits of UFP. The workshops are compelling and effective for valuing UFP."

About the Tutors
Rachel is a Landscape Architect & Urban Designer specialising in regenerative food production. She designs spaces for food, soil health and wildlife and biodiversity, as well as maximising harvests and reducing the work needed to achieve it.
She learnt to grow food from her Grandparents in Jersey who grew much of their own produce on their acre - including Jersey Royal Potatoes! Rachel still loves potatoes.
Growing food all her life, and commercially for the last 10 years, Rachel has worked with CSA, farms, market gardens, urban farms, community gardens and corporate businesses to increase food production and efficiency, whilst reducing labour and costs.
Rachel founded edge, a non-profit design agency, with the main aims of designing urban food production systems, growing food within whole ecosystems and educating others on food production systems and ecological farming practices.
Georgina is trained in education, wildlife gardening and pond creation, heading up our schools and education area of work.
She has a passion for edible flowers and loves adding these into all of our growing systems, as well as bog gardens, mini ponds and pollinator planting.
Georgina has been working with edge for the last 8 years and would love every school to be growing food in some way to support children learning about food and nature.
