Media advance UMaine Extension publication on tarping
The Bangor Daily News, the Daily Bulldog, Morning Ag Clips and Phys.org shared information about a new University of Maine Cooperative Extension publication called “Tarping in the Northeast: A Guide for Small Farms.” The publication provides the most up-to-date information on an emerging practice of tarping — applying reusable tarps to the soil surface between crops and then removing them prior to planting — for weed and soil management.
