Free Online Tools for Soil Nutrient and Soil Health Management

Managing soil fertility doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. In this workshop from the 38th Annual California Small Farm Conference, we demonstrate a suite of free, easy-to-use online tools that any farmer can use to improve nutrient use efficiency, reduce costs, minimize nutrient loss to the environment, and support soil health management practices. Tools covered include the Cover Crop Species Selector Tool, which recommends ranked cover crops based on your goals, climate, and soil type; the UC Bulk Density and Soil Carbon Calculator, which estimates soil bulk density and calculates soil carbon by depth; and the Nitrogen Mineralization from Organic Amendments Calculator, which estimates how much nitrogen will become plant available from commonly used organic amendments. Free, practical, and relevant to all growers. This session gives you the tools to farm smarter. This workshop was recorded as part of the 38th annual California Small Farm Conference, a week of learning, inspiration and community. This event is a production of CAFF: Community Alliance with Family Farmers. www.caff.org
