SUMMARY:Clover Living Mulch Field Walk at Hampshire College Farm
DESCRIPTION:Come check out Hampshire College Farm’s Clover Living Mulch trials! Their practices include using a one-row strip tiller to create strips in crimped rye/white clover before planting squash and watermelon. They’ve also experimented with crimped and tarped rye\, then broadcast white clover just before transplanting brassicas. We’ll talk equipment\, timing and strategies\, and do an in-field soil health assessment to discuss how these practices are impacting soil quality. \nHampshire’s trials are part of Momentum Ag’s broader Clover Living Mulch trials across the Northeast. In 2024 we tracked 50 trials across 20 farms\, and we’re doing the same this season. We’ll compare and contrast Hampshire’s strategies\, struggles\, and successes with what the larger group is finding. \nThese techniques have the potential to scale up or down and work across a broad range of crops — we hope this field walk will be informative for growers at all scales\, growers interested in strip-tillage and crimping generally\, and growers interested in Clover Living Mulch. \n\nFree \n\nPlease register here in advance. Contact Lincoln at Momentum Ag with questions.
