Understanding Your Soil Test: Part 2
March 25 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Taking soil tests both for nutrients and biology are important management techniques so that ecological farmers can increase yields, improve crop quality, reduce weed problems and improve soil health. In Part 2 of this free Member Month webinar, Ken Laing will discuss what amendments and cover crops you might use to correct deficiencies you find from your soil testing.
Ken Laing of Orchard Hill Farm has farmed with his wife Martha near St.Thomas since 1979 when he graduated from the University of Guelph with a B.Sc. in Agriculture. From 1979 until 1996 they produced pick-your-own fruit, and they transitioned to organic in 1989. From 1997 until 2017 they operated a CSA for up to 250 members. Pasture has been a part of their farm rotation for 44 years in terms of draft horses and more recently since 2015 also with cattle and custom grazing.
