Greenhouse soil best practices with Judson Reid of Cornell University in New York State
About this episode
The episode discusses greenhouse soil best practices with Judson Reid, focusing on fertility management and the importance of water quality.
Soil is finally getting the attention it deserves, and though many of the best practices in the field hold true in the greenhouse, there are some important differences and that’s what we talk about this week with Judson Reid. We talk about why you can’t apply all the fertility a long-season crop like tomatoes need at the beginning of the season, and how to handle supplemental fertility needs. Judson tells us why water may be the most important input going into your greenhouse and what to get it tested for.
