Nerding Out about Long-Term Soil Health Projects in WA with Researcher Deirdre Griffin LaHue

Natalie is back with dear friend and soil scientist--and national soil judging champion!--Deirdre Griffin LaHue. Deirdre's work in Washington state has led to some incredible long-term soil health projects. They also discuss the how she transitioned from studying nutrition to soil health, the current science of biodegradable mulches, and unconventional crops in the state.
