I also recognise Joel Salatin.
On Satuday, there's a topic called fertigation in high tunnels. What's that? :confused:

I haven't been to one of these but used to subscribe to magazine. Wonderful publication, full of excellent articles. Great folks - tried and true in their commitment to sustainability, the viability of the small farm, genetic diversity, etc. This is about how to make it work financially in the real world. These are excellent events to attend if you can get away. If you have a farm based business, may want to check out if it would be helpful for you to rent a space one of these years.

... fertigation ...

From this article (I Googled "fertigation"), I found the quote below:

http://www.ext.colostate.edu/Pubs/crops/00512.html

"The application of nutrients through irrigation systems is called 'fertigation,' a contraction of fertilization and irrigation."

Anyone here attend the Small Farm Conference this past weekend? If so, I would enjoy hearing about it!
