This webinar covers the practicalities of using short term (or catch crop) green manures in intensive horticultural rotations; which species of green manures can be used; when in the rotation to sow and incorporate the green manure, and which crops are most suited to preceding or following short term green manures.
Hosted by Ian Wilkinson, Managing Director of Cotswold Seeds, the webinar is primarily aimed at fruit and vegetable growers but is open to anyone interested in improving soil health.
The GREATsoils programme, funded by AHDB Horticulture, is led by the Soil Association in collaboration with Earthcare Technical Ltd and the Organic Research Centre. The overall aim of the three-year project is to inspire and support fruit and vegetable growers to develop the ability and confidence to assess the health of their soils and take practical action to improve their soil management strategies.
