It covers bio-extensive rotations, organic supression of bermudagrass, and reduction of purchased inputs for fertility and pest control.

Anyone who’s attended a Kerr Center horticulture workshop in the last umpteen years has been exposed to the idea that crop rotations confer numerous benefits both on the soils they’re carried out on, and on the crops that grow in those soils. Studies hot off the academic presses have just added more support to the notion.
Terry Durham, Missouri elderberry grower and maker of jams, jellies, juices and medicinal products, will be featured Sept. 26 at the Kerr Center’s Elderberry Workshop. Walk with him through a field of ripe elderberries.
