Hands-On Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Field Day

Come learn about the use of biodegradable mulches for your farming operation.

 

We will discuss:

• Different biodegradable mulch materials available
• Use of biodegradable mulches in various agriculture systems
• How to properly lay mulches

• Will demonstrate laying various mulches using a flatbed mulch layer

 

Participants will be able to interact with the different materials and talk with Mike and Charlene Boxx about their cut flower production. We will re-visit the plots this fall to observe how the different materials weathered over the growing season.

 

When: May 8, 2018, 2-4 PM

Where: Boxx Berry Farm, 6211 Northwest Drive, Ferndale, WA
