Organic Veggie Conference

PureHarvest · March 14, 2016

Short notice, but if you live near the Eastern shore of Maryland, this Conference will have some good topics, especially after the lunch break.

I will definitely go to the talk on no-till and veggies and report any cool stuff I see/hear.

That would have been fun to attend. Do you end up going? I spent a lot of time in Worton, Maryland in Kent County which has productive farm land.

Yes I went.

It was good.

The biggest take away I got was that Hairy Vetch when used as a cover crop the year preceding a veggie crop, will suppress fusarium.
