Farmers

• Plant nitrogen-fixing cover crops and living row paths.
• Reduce tillage with no-till rotations or shallow till practices.
• Recycle biomass with livestock.
• Replace pesticides and fungicides with diverse beneficial organisms.
• Incorporate perennials, pasture cropping, and cover crop cocktails into your farm plan.
• Inoculate soils with beneficial microorganisms and provide inputs that require microbial digestion (for instance, plant meals and micronized rocks and shells instead of chemicals and organic sulfates)

Gardener/Homeowner

• Emphasize perennials in plantings (particularly native plants) and use annuals to fill gaps.
• Minimize the use of pavement and unproductive mulch.
• Use biological controls instead of fungicides and pesticides.
• Incorporate nitrogen-fixing trees and perennials into the landscape.
• Maintain diverse forested buffers and perimeters.
