Building Biodiversity into Vegetable Production
Come tour Frith Farm and learn strategies to increase biodiversity in the context of commercial vegetable production. Diversity and abundance of life are nature’s answer to soil, plant, and human health. We will focus on how to use mulches, interplantings, and perennial plantings to increase natural resistance to pests and disease and to feed the life that feeds us.
