Garden/Homestead cover crops through the growing season
April 26, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Cover cropping is not difficult and is an important tool for increasing soil fertility and growing nutritious food. We’ll explore the reasons for and the practical implementation of growing cover crops on a small scale in the vegetable garden, pasture and orchard. We’ll practice hands on planning, planting, and management of cover crops throughout the growing season.
