Unpacking the Haney Test (1/4)
Throughout the duration of the Cover5 project there has been a lot of talk about ‘soil biology’. While many of our previous videos have shown obvious visual changes in soils over time through regenerative management practices, what other ways are there to measure and track the biological improvement of our soils? In this next series…
Transforming Soils with Cover Crops (Brabham)
Two years ago, farmer John Brabham signed up for our ‘Cover 5’ series, a project where we take five acres of under-performing land and start introducing cover crops.

What Do First-Time Cover Croppers Get Wrong? (Metts 5/6)
Using cover crops has a bevy of benefits. Among other things, covers help increase infiltration, reduce erosion, improve soil resilience and structure and promote organic matter. But what do first time cover croppers need to know to reap the most benefits early on? Hear Will Metts of Metts Organix’s take from his own experience.
An Indepth Look at Regenerative Agriculture (Metts 3/6)
‘Regenerative’ is a fairly new term in the agricultural space. In this video, Will Metts of Metts Organix unpacks what this approach to farming is all about and how producers and consumers alike can benefit from it.
Cover Crops and Wildlife Pressure (Metts 2/6)
Some of our farmers in South Carolina have voiced frustration over an increase in wildlife pressure after incorporating cover crops. We sat down with Will Metts of Metts Organix to hear first hand about this experience and what to expect.
Transforming Depleted Soils Naturally (Metts 1/6)
‘When I inherited the land it was very nutrient depleted and didn’t have much biodiversity… cover crops, keeping continuous roots in the soil and [keeping the ground covered] has greatly amended and increased the organic matter in my soil.’ Hear how one South Carolina farmer has transformed depleted soils into land that is teeming with…
Plug & Plant Ep 05: Mycorrhizal fungi w/ Dr. Kris Nichols (2/2)
