Organic Ecology Season Extension

Posted by Jim Riddle, June 4th , 2010.
On May 6, 2010 the University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center (SWROC) in Lamberton hosted its first Season Extension Day, drawing over 90 interested participants. Invited speakers included U of MN faculty and growers and covered topics related to extended season high tunnel and passive greenhouse fruit and vegetable production. Three of the presentations are posted here: a review of the 2009 season of the SWROC high tunnel; soil and fertility management for high tunnels; and growing raspberries in high tunnels.
View some of presentations from the Season Extension Day: Soil Fertility in High Tunnels by Dr. Carl Rosen, High Tunnel Raspberry Research by Steve Poppe, and SWROC High Tunnel:First Season Review and Lessons by Kelley Belina
