Join legendary market gardener Jim Cronin for a 2-day Masterclass in Looking at Your Land with New Eyes – looking at grassland management for smallholders & new entrants on his farm in Co Clare in 2024.
All land has potential – and in this course, we will learn how to observe your land and farm.
We will be looking at pH, fertility sources, how to improve fertility, the herbage of the fields, boundaries, stocking the land with animals, growing crops or a garden. This course will be applicable to all land types and farm sizes.
The course will be held on Jim Cronin’s farm near Killaloe, Co Clare. This is the first time this course has been held in person, and we are expecting a big demand.
