Today is World Soil Day (WSD). A campaign that aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives.
To mark the occasion The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations has produced a wonderful series of Postcards that highlight the main threats to world soil health. In the UK we don’t do particularly well with many of them.
I received a nice email from a reader yesterday as follows:
"Hi John, I thought I'd share this pic from 8 weeks ago and now following your aeration and no sand advice... must say impressive in such a short time ... thanks. Looking forward to the next task email from yourself" VT
Further to my recent post about the success being experienced by Bowls Victoria in recruiting members from the junior to 30 year old age bracket, here is a video that shows one way in which this success is nurtured. Can this be used to good effect in the UK?…of course it can, and all year round into the bargain.
Have a look at the Bowls Victoria website for more great ideas like this from a very forward looking and pro-active Bowls Association
