OVERVIEW: Discover the benefits of cover cropping in your home garden with this webinar.
Cover cropping isn't just for large farms - it's a sustainable practice that can enhance your garden's health and productivity! Join us as we discuss how cover crops improve soil structure, suppress weeds, and attract beneficial insects while reducing the need for synthetic inputs. Learn practical tips on selecting the right cover crops for your climate and garden goals, best practices for planting, maintenance, and termination, and integrating cover crops into your gardening schedule. Whether new to gardening or a seasoned enthusiast, this webinar will give you the tools to incorporate cover crops at home.
