Farming Falmouth Field Walk

Are you interested in a transition to no till farming and other soil building practices? 

Join us for the afternoon at Farming Falmouth in Falmouth, MA to discuss soil health and various tools at our disposal to support soil and plant health.

NOFA/Mass soil technical advisor John Duke will be on site to lead discussions on soil health as we tour the farm and see some of the granular effects of differing styles of soil management on microbiology, tilth and moisture! We’ll assess soil and plants across different areas, some from the no-till “human scale” gardening patch of Earl Barnhart and Hilda Maingay from the Green Center as well as from a more traditionally tractor-tilled field on the periphery of Coonamessett Farm.

• Learn about the use of various cover crops and combinations

• Discuss various practices for improving soil health

• Discuss soil compaction and tools for mediation
