Join the EarthWhile team at EcoHub to learn how healthy soils act like a sponge to retain water and reduce garden irrigation needs. This hands-on session explores the role of soil microbes in water retention includes live microbe viewing, and demonstrates water infiltration and compaction tests. Discover simple ways to grow your microbial community—and save water. EarthWhile Australia is about raising awareness of life in the soil by helping people see and experience soil microbes.
