Getting started with cover crops
The Soil Wealth ICP team has put together some practical resources for vegetable and potato growers who are getting started with cover cropping on their farms. It includes:
- A short podcast with Dr Kelvin Montagu, who gives a good overview on cover cropping and the key benefits for using it on your farm – for your wallet and for your soil health.
- A handy poster to help growers choose a cover crop to suit their farming operation, climate and cover crop objectives.
- A guide to brassica biofumigant cover crops, which can be used as an alternative to synthetic fumigants for soil-borne disease management.
