Northern Gardening: Soil Testing and Cover Crops for Home Gardens
As the growing season winds down, it is a good time to reflect on what grew well and what struggled in your garden. We often think of weather, pests, and diseases impacting our gardening success, but it’s important not to overlook what’s underground- your soil! In this show, we’ll learn about how testing your soil can give you clues about how to manage the nutrients and quality of your soil. We’ll also dive into the topic of cover crops, which are crops you grow to improve and protect the health of your soil.
Northern Gardening airs every 2nd Thursday of the Month at 7 pm, then again at 6 am the following Saturday. All previously aired programs are archived on our website to listen to at any time.
