Hosted in partnership with the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation (RVF), with Becky Syckes, Joseh Brinkley (Bonterra), and David van Schalkwyk (Waterford Estate, South Africa). Composting is one of the key tools for building soil health in vineyards. Here we bring experts from the USA, South Africa, and Italy to share their experiences in what has worked for them (and what hasn’t). Where to source compost and other organic amendments, how to make your own, when to apply, how much to apply, and how to apply? So many questions we will be answering.
