Small-Scale Cover Cropping Workshop

Are you curious about cover cropping but unsure about how to fit it into your small plot? Come learn about small-scale and urban covercropping with Jason Lilley, Assistant Extension Professor, Maine Sustainable Agriculture and Maple Industry Educator at UMaine. 

This workshop will cover how to incorporate cover cropping to serve different purposes in your small garden or farm!

Covercropping is a practice that growers at all scales can implement to improve soil health. Learn about different cover crops for each season, cover crops that are ideal for small and urban settings, how to establish cover crop, and take part in a hands-on planting of a cover crop in a small urban garden bed. The workshop will also cover strategies for breaking down cover crops and incorporating them back into the soil.

This workshop is part of the Maine Urban Soil Health Project, a UMaine Extension project to improve soil health education for Maine's urban agriculture community
