Effectiveness of wet spent brewer's grains as mulch in mixed vegetable production

Summary

Grant Update

In 2013, I was granted an extension on my Farmer’s Grant.  In the course of the year, I was able to find a parcel on which to conduct my study in 2014.  The parcel is located in Huntington and apart from changing the varieties of onions to study, and perhaps growing on narrower beds, all other aspects of the study remain the same.

Because no work was performed on the grant, other than locating a suitable parcel, this summary is the extent of my report this year.
