Welcome to the GREEN Organic Garden Podcast it’s Friday, May 22, 2020 and I have the most awesome guest online. I feel bad we were chatting about school. She is from SoilKit.com They sent Mike and I a sample I got the results back already, I made videos of me using it. Here today a rockstar Millennial is Christina, I don’t know your last name!
That was a great intro! Thank you Quick thing just about myself, my name is Christina Woerner Mcinnis. I am a Mom of 4 born in the 80s. My family has been farming for over 100 years. I am a 5th generation farmer. I just got my bicentennial membership for the state of Alabama.
I am very proud to be a farmer! I love raising kids to be farmers.
My passion if I were to tell you my hobby!
#1 would be politics
#2 would be international ag
I am fascinated about traveling around the world and learning about it!
As a tid bit, the most fascinating country I have been to with organic farming is:
CUBA organic practice I have ever seen!
hands down, most fascinating organic practices!
That’s my hobby those are my passions.
now to tell you about SoilKit.com
my dad is the Woerner family from
Woerner.com he has farms all over from
grows everything from
I kept having homeowners come in and saying somethings wrong with
- citrus trees
- my lawn
- garden
What should I be doing?
It’s just like going to the doctor, you can come in for a well checkup and he wants to take a look at your blood results.
They come in and there’s a diagnostic? I say what is the soil sample what did it look at.
Homeowners here have a soil sample but the process was difficult for a homeowner to understand.
I asked dad, I wanted to do this project. I want to make this a digital process, it's too difficult for the homeowners to understand. let’s take this the pain point out of the market place, it’s the most important test you can do.
I aligned with a very talented person, Michaal Raines who did tech for the medical industry if you can dot his for them you can do it for dirt so come on let's get this project off the ground
- paired the agronomy of
- farming
- chemistry
- and the tech side
- with his engineering and digital side
So now we have rolled out SoilKit, turned out to be a more extensive
So you get soil kit what you do, it comes in the mail.
You can get it with or without a trowel
Your listeners probably everybody has a trowel
https://youtu.be/0GNaMdyThcQ#1 thing to do is register kit
everything will be populated to you, you will get a google satelite image
- gardening in the soil land you can go drop the pins
- calculate with google satellite imagery
- click confirm and a little tutorial will be there.
go take your four samples from a 10,000 foot area
When you are gardening I need it at least
- grass will reside
- 2-4 inches deep
- 4 inches with the root level
- take the soil at that level
- raise the red flag
All you have to do is put in your information is put in your information, then the lab knows the second it gets there they know this is Jackie
- it’s a garden
- we’re gonna go the basic test
- b3...
