Excited to be presenting results from the SHOWCASE project and Agroforestry Group this month!

Our farm trials across England have shown cover crops can increase earthworms by 65% in the following cash crops! AND agroforestry promotes worms too, especially in drought years 😎

Hope to see you there!🌾
