Organic No-Till and Alley Cropping Workshop at Woodcock Preserve

July 29, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

$15

The word about cover crops is reaching the public: these awesome plants enhance soil health, crop yields, weed control capabilities, water quality, and more. In practice, however, managing cover crops requires attention to complex factors such as species selection, timing, and termination. This workshop will specifically focus on small and medium-scale applications of cover crops with “organic no-till” principles–zero herbicides and minimal soil disturbance. We will review how tarps, crimpers, mowers, and no-till planting techniques combine with multi-species cover crops for producing diverse food and market crops. We will participate in a hands-on demonstration on the use of a flail mower and an occultation tarp to terminate a cover crop, and learn finer points of tarping technique and no-till planting. Please bring questions and ideas for applications of cover crops to your operation. Register through attached Eventbrite link.
