Factsheet 1 Willms Cover Cropping 6pg
Les & Hannah’s main goal for their farmland is to: Improve the soil with the use of plants. The 4 main objectives of this project are: Break up compaction to increase water infiltration and water holding capacity. Grow a mix of plants that will contribute nitrogen (N) to the soil and not deplete it. Grow 4 different blends to assess which cover crop plants grow best in the region. Grow these blends field scale to assess how they grow in different landscape positions in a field.
Thank you BCGPA Director Hannah WIllms and her husband Les for the great work they are doing on their farm and Sandra Burton for putting together this factsheet.
