Go Nuts Bi-Monthly Community Call: Field & Fertility Plans
OnlineJoin us for our Go Nuts springtime discussion where the group will be sharing plans and ideas for the upcoming growing season, as well as how to keep them alive and thriving. Fertility plans for agroforestry settings can be challenging due to a variety of factors, including: conditions for successful establishment, large pieces of land that may require different approaches in fertility, or how to keep costs down for organic-minded growers. We love to hear about the different goals and arrangements of agroforestry sites in our region! Share your story, and listen in. What are you planting, or what have you planted? How’s your soil? Are you purchasing or making amendments? What about those foliar sprays? If you are seeking feedback from others, looking to discuss your successes or improve your methods, or learn from your agroforestry peers, this call is for you!
