Episode sixteen is part one of a two-part series on the use and benefits of sustainable agricultural practices in vineyards. In this episode, we’re focusing on the use and benefits of cover crops for vineyards. With us to talk about this are agronomist and soil culture expert Bob Shaffer from Hawaii, and Bob Cannard of Green String Farms, who manages 1000 acres of vineyards for Cline Cellars in California. We’ll cover successful management strategies, choice of cover crops, pitfalls you may encounter, the unique benefits of cover cropping on vineyards and much more.
