Description:
This is a report on a SARE supported trial of deliberately designed cover crop seed pellets to start a rapid switch from conventional to organic or regenerative soil management. The video explains why we wanted to try this, the rationale behind the seed pellet design, the practical problems we encountered, the failure of the corn fields in the primary project, and how some corn plots were incidentally extremely productive.
