Humus sapiens

Hello dear soil enthusiasts,

there will be a HUMUS sapiens retreat in 2019 - hopefully funded by another Crowdfunding campaign:

https://wemakeit.com/projects/humus-sapiens-retreat-2019

With your help, we will meet from 25.10. - 27.10.2019 at Project draussen near Munich, Germany, to share everything we have learned from 18 months of HUMUS sapiens.

It would be great to have YOU on board!! :)

Thanks to all our supporters and friends who helped spreading the word. More information: https://mikrobiomik.com/humussapiens Discuss with us: https://forum.hackteria.org/c/humus-sapiens

If you supported the project, you will soon receive an e-mail with further information and some questions (shirt size, etc). Thanks again and enjoy the spring awakening – maybe while working in your garden?!? ;)

There are no more places left for the Hackteria/RandeLab Soil Retreat. We are about 20 people and it will already be cozy in the little hut. Let’s hope for good weather!!

Join us for the «mikroBIOMIK workshop weekend» from 20.-22.07.18 near Munich. More information: https://mikrobiomik.com/humussapiens

One more month and the first event in this series of Open Soil Research is happening! Many people already got into contact with us directly and reserved their participation. Only a few slots are still available.

During the last weeks and until May, we will already prepare the land and the house to host you all. We are already starting with some prototypes for DIY soil analysis and documenting our projects on the Hackteria Wiki.

If you want to find out more about the Retreat in May, follow the description on the wiki here: https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/RandeLab_Soil_Retreat

ANNOUNCEMENT: Right after the Retreat near Schaffhausen, there is the yearly gathering and research week @ ANYMA 7-14. May, Fribourg, and everybody is welcome to join for some further technical developments of the ideas sprouting in the forest. ANYMA is an amazing studio/workshop for electronics prototyping, digital- and analog manufacturing and warm people for evenings of great dinners and discussions.

Citation from one of the discussions: «Building a soil respiration (CO2 flux) chamber indeed is in principle simple. There are some basic principles that should be followed in order to get scientific results, though.» (Janne Korhonen aka Pannu)

Many thanks to the wemakeit team, to our backers and all the lovely people who help us spreading the word. We consider this a good occasion to give out some T-Shirts as a «special reward» for 25€.
