Cómo mantener el suelo cubierto: lonas, cultivos de cobertura, mantillo
Cómo mantener el suelo cubierto: lonas, cultivos de cobertura, mantillo
Julie Rawson y Jack Kittredge de Many Hands Organic Farm “buscan alcanzar la máxima fertilidad posible, practicar la agricultura sin labranza, aumentar la materia orgánica del suelo, una alta densidad de nutrientes, resistencia a las enfermedades y los insectos, y tan pocas malas hierbas como sea posible.”
¿Suena demasiado bien para ser verdad? Únase a nosotros en este taller práctico en su granja para aprender de sus 10 años de experiencia en el manejo de la agricultura sin labranza, compartir algunos de los problemas de este modelo que han experimentado a lo largo de los años y también las soluciones a las que han llegado.
Sound too good to be true? Join us at a hands-on workshop on their farm to discuss their experience 10 years into no-till management, a bit about their problems with this modality as they have evolved over the years, and the solutions that they have implemented.
