DETAILS OF EVENT
Dr Francis Rayns (Horticulture Research Manager at Garden Organic) presents 'Green Manures'.
Green manures remain under utilised by organic growers even though they can bring many benefits – helping to reduce the leaching of nutrients, adding nitrogen from the air by fixation, raising levels of soil organic matter and assisting with the management of weeds, pests and diseases. Francis will discuss the particular attributes of some of the wide range of species that can be used and how green manures can best be managed in a garden situation.
