New at Capital RC&D:

Enhancing Soil Health in Pennsylvania High Tunnels features Pennsylvania farmers using different techniques to ensure high tunnel soil health. The video features Dr. Gladis Zinati with Rodale Institute sharing information about using compost in tunnels, Mike Brownback from Spiral Path Farm discussing their use of compost from their vermicompost system as well as their use of cover crops, and finally a visit to Cedar Meadow Farm to learn how Kaitlyn Horst and Steve Groff use no-till cover crop methods in Haygrove tunnels.

Visit our high tunnel project page for more information.  

Featured Projects:

Capital RC&D visited multiple farms throughout Pennsylvania to learn about successful on-farm composting and is sharing the results through the On-Farm Composting in Pennsylvania video series. The four part series and a written overview with bibliography is available here, and features compost bedded pack, turned windrows , a static aerated pile system, and the highlights of research taking place at Rodale Institute.
