Saturday Morning Science: Pumpkins, Plants & Healthy Soil

Use of cover crops such as crimson clover and rye are one important way farmers are working to improve the health of soil. Did you know that a teaspoon of healthy soil can have more soil microbes than there are people on Planet Earth? Come grow your knowledge on plants and soils!
