Enhancing soil health with diverse leys

During this webinar, we'll share details of an ongoing trial at Glovers Farm in Norfolk that is focused on herbal leys and improving soil health. Join us to find out how you can optimise the long-term health and resilience of your land.

A group of experts will share the findings to date and explore the future of improving soil health, establishment of herbal leys and innovative agricultural practices.

We'll use the experimental site 'Chalk Pit Field' in north Norfolk as our case study, where these practices are being implemented and studied.
