Savor the Flavor of Outagamie County
Outagamie County will host the 2012 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days show in July. A cookbook, "Savor the Flavor of Outagamie County", has been put together for the show as a fundraiser. The cost is $15, and can be purchased at the Brown County UW Extension office.


Do you have a question for our Horticulture staff?
Please bring a sample and/or picture to room 107 of the Ag & Extension Service Center, 1150 Bellevue St. Our diagnostics team will be happy to help, but it is difficult to give accurate information without something for them to look at.

By John Hendrickson and Jim Stute
The authors describe how to choose a combination of cover crops to provide your soil with what it needs—more nitrogen, more tilth, more protection from eroding rains, or all of these things. They describe how garden soil can be enriched by planting it to buckwheat, berseem clover, soybeans, oilseed radish, or oats, either before the garden crop has been seeded or after it has been harvested, or else by planting these crops successively—as many as three in a season—in a portion of the garden reserved for cover crops alone. They discuss how to make best use of your garden space while using cover crops to improve your soil, and how to combine cover crops in order to accomplish several goals simultaneously (6 pages; 2012).
