Cover Crops
with Gwen Bartonek, Horticulture specialist
This presentation will address maintaining soil health and nutrient value throughout the winter season, primarily focusing on cover crops. It will include additional ways to keep the soil healthy and maintaining good tilth in-between growing seasons. Vegetable gardens for backyard gardeners will be addressed; commercial uses may be discussed if there is interest. This presentation will primarily be a very open dialogue with background slides, and questions and interaction with the audience are strongly encouraged.
Naomi's Organic Farm Supply specializes in both certified organic and conventional Cover Crop and pasture seed, for gardeners, farmers and vineyards. Focusing on seed grown in the Pacific Northwest whenever possible, for a very affordable price. They enjoy supporting local seed growers, lowering transportation costs and helping to create very fertile, well loved soil.
