Sounding Soil – Listening to the soil
Can you actually hear grass growing? What does the earthworm say to the centipede when they meet beneath the carrot field? What is the difference in sound from a vegetable field with organic soil and one with conventional ones? Biovision is one of those listening carefully as it is using the art installation “Sounding Soil” to raise the public’s awareness of the importance of our soils.
