The 4 M’s of soil health and fertility and how hoophouse soil management is unique:

• Moisture - providing the right amount throughout the year
  
• Minerals - soil texture, essential plant nutrients and soil tests, avoiding excess
  
• Mulch/Organic Matter - types of compost and application rates, tillage, cover crops ...
  
• Microbes - getting it right so the microbes can work for you

Working toward nutrient dense, biologically active plants with pest and disease resistance!
