Symbiosis Soil Lab operates the only known Soil Microbiology Food Web Mobile Lab and they specialise in regenerating life into soils. \nWill Luke from the Apricot Centre CIC\, will be leading a session on the basics of soil microbiology: explaining how microbes evolve and their relationships to each other\, and the help we can give them by creating an environment where they can thrive.
