| Soil Resiliency and Health: Crop Rotation and Cover Cropping on the Organic Farm by Seth Kroeck | ||
| This book describes the tool of crop rotation and its close relative, cover cropping, for their use in building soil in nutrient level, freedom from pest and disease and general balance and health. It is convincing as well about the financial benefits, and better use of a farmer’s time, that rotation planning can bring. Kroek clarifies the theory and practice by breaking down crops into groupings according to not just plant family, but also time of planting, time to maturity, nutrient needs and other parameters. Crop Rotation and Cover Cropping gives examples of relatively simple 6-unit rotations, along with more detailed and complex 12- and 24-unit examples.
Seth Kroek has been working and managing organic farms in the Northeast and California for the past eight years. He is currently working his own farm, Crystal Spring Community Farm in Brunswick, Me. with his wife, Maura, and their son Griffin. | ||
