Coring Injection Method of Applying Compost to Christmas Trees
Event on 2013-09-14 08:00:00

 Research Trials Field Day ~ Soil Health

Come join other Christmas tree growers on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at Salomaa Tree Plantation, in Stannard Vermont for a day long workshop going over the second year results of composting trials. Sponsored by a SARE grant to investigate coring injection method of applying compost to Christmas trees.

Soil health has become an issue on Christmas tree plantations in the Northeast. Some soil is unhealthy or has become unhealthy because the organic quality of the soil was destroyed during land clearing and by "rotational problems" caused by continued planting of trees on the same acre of land depleting the organic content of the soil.

The morning will include speakers on the project itself but will also include presentations on compost, soil health, soil testing, soil born diseases, and demonstrations of the coring compost method. The afternoon field stations will be led by esperts from UVM and Cornell. Lunch will be provided by local specialty food purveyors. Trade show will include specialty equipment and materials and a marketing expert will offer thoughts on the benefits to public perception of the industry being environmentally friendly.
