Everyday Ecologies: Working with Soil Time

A conversation and an opportunity to get up close to the living (and dying) post-plantation soils at the Duke Campus Farm, and to think together about the limits of repair. We’ll read an article by Anna Krzywoszynska and learn practical techniques for cultivating the Piedmont’s notoriously heavy clay soils.
