Field lab workshop and farm walk, Abbey Home Farm, Gloucestershire, 11th October
Join Innovative Farmers on 11th October at Abbey Home Farm for a workshop and farm walk exploring management techniques as part of a strip-till system for soil health and fertility building. Head Grower Andy Dibben is running some small plot trials using strip tillage with a living mulch as part of a field lab trying the practice at various scales. We will visit the trial plots and hear from producers with experience in strip tillage and cover crops, as well as researchers and experts on soil health management.
The event is free to attend and lunch is provided.
