> Living Roots – Covered Soil – Minimal Disturbance – Diversity <
An evening class on the application of the soil health principles, to your growing operation.
The soil health principles work. From large farms to market gardens, when implemented doggedly they bring real results: better soil structure, healthier crops and more consistent yields. What’s more, the growers that have most rigorously applied these principles have the more profitable operations today.
