OGPod Episode 12: Jayne Arnold and Oxton Organics
James speaks to Jayne Arnold of Oxton Organics in Worcestershire. Oxton Organics has undergone a number of transformations over the years and James and Jayne discuss this, but the bulk of the conversation focuses on Jayne’s experiments with green manures. Jayne talks about the benefits of green manures, establishment, undersowing, species selection and seed mixes, key dates and methods of termination. We also get onto Jayne’s LWA-funded trials into bio-stimulants and her attempts to save seed that is adapted to her local conditions. It’s a wonderful conversation with lots of ideas for things to be doing right now so, let’s get to it.
