Today in @generousgarden a wolf spider. That white ball is her egg sac, carried and protected until her babies hatch. She is an active hunter of #garden pests, common if you use #covercrops, #compost, and living borders.

A beautiful rhizosheath! This phenomenon is how #covercrops improve aggregation and thereby soil health.

Happy world soil day! Just about… 🌱 This year’s theme is “Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage” which is about using soil data to make the right decisions.

As someone who loves photography, I wanted to share a barley root system forming its own unique soil. Enjoy!

Crop rotation? It's valuable, but how to achieve it in an orchard that's expected to remain for 40+ years? Rotating covercrops! Allows us to have multiple plant species, even though only one (avocados) are permanent and expected to make money.

Enjoying sunset over a cover crop mixture of Purple top turnip, Clover, Radish & Rye. Cover crops protect & improve soil health by preventing erosion, suppressing weeds, enriching soil nutrients, improving water retention and reducing soil compaction. Science 🧪 🌱

#Farmers show a significant intention-action gap regarding #sustainable practices. Predictors of #intention to adopt do not necessarily predict actual #behaviour. Only past experience with a practice (e.g. #covercrops) & strong intentions (but not weak) predict adoption: doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

Not all #covercrops work with mulch. But the field peas in last year's mix seemed happy and even reseeded itself. Some germinated after the October rain, and I expect to see more popping up this week.

This is a wheat cover crop. One of the ways we feed the soil is by growing cover crops year-round on all followed beds. This stops erosion, adds organic matter, and feeds the soil's microbiome. #CoverCrops #farmlife #RegenerativeAgriculture #sustainablefarming #sustainablefarm #soillife

A recent study showed that #covercrops can improve the ability of the #soil to buffer against rapid #heat change. Read more here: wp.me/pclOv9-vC.
A soil sample is in a cup. A wire is inserted into the soil, attached to a KD2 Pro soil analyzer.

...and even more about #RootWayS project at the #DBG2025: Yijie Shi (Ada) & Henrik Füllgrabe presented on #microzymography and the subsoil labeling methods (or #Soils dating #CoverCrops ). Congrats to the two for wrapping up the outcomes of the first phase so nicely in their excellent presentations

A wide landscape view of a vast field blanketed in deep red crimson clover flowers, dotted with clusters of light purple phacelia blossoms. The colourful meadow stretches across the foreground and midground, leading to a line of green trees and hedges. In the far distance, a soft blue mountain rises gently under a bright blue sky with a few wispy clouds. The scene is captured in bright, natural daylight, evoking a calm and warm summer feeling.

Prioritizing management goals for #covercrops is essential because the practices will differ by goal even for the same cover crop.
