The organic approach to soil care involves minimising cultivation to conserve or improve the structure and avoid compaction. Green manures (cover crops) can be grown to protect and feed the soil, provide a valuable habitat and contribute to weed and disease prevention and control.
This module introduces how to manage soil, growing media and maintain fertility.

There's a small box at the top right corner of each section: Click on it and all the other sections you aren't in at the moment shrink down to a navigation bar the bottom of your screen, so that you can move from one section to another easily.
