The Root Project

​

Cover crops are an essential part of healthy soil.

​

As part of our ongoing efforts to educate, train and inform, we've developed a graphic showing the cross-sectional view of several popular and effective cover crops. 

​

This high-quality graphic is extremely detailed and scalable.
