Brendon discusses how he’s maintained yields and increased quality while reducing the input costs of his potato crop. He did it by substituting compost for synthetic fertilizer, in combination with diverse full season cover crops. He’s even been able to drastically reduce the amount of compost he needs in the system. While yields have not changed, crop quality has increased and input costs have decreased, giving Brendon a better return on his crops.
Please note, this video was filmed in the summer of 2019.
