Ecological weed control on the Big Shift

Catch up on the latest Big Shift for Small Farms podcast on ecological control of weeds.

Listeners will hear from farmers who share their experiences balancing weed control with sustainable practices such as composting, cover crops, and natural remedies. 

The conversation highlights the importance of understanding weeds’ ecological roles, monitoring soil health, and embracing a mindset that sees weeds as part of the natural ecosystem—not merely as pests to be eliminated.
