Innovative Cover Cropping in BC – South Okanagan

Join us at the Summerland Research and Development Centre, where Dr. Kirsten Hannam shares the trials in progress in fruit tree ground cover management, using woolly thyme as a permanent ground cover and an alternative to common bare strip or bark mulch under-tree management. Then, visit Kalala Organic Estate Winery’s innovative inter-alleyway chickpea cover crop trial, which serves a dual purpose as both cover crop and cash crop. Finally, Dr Miranda Hart weighs in on the trial and the measurements being taken with the BC Living Labs project.
