Biobed records for 2023
by Emily Wolverton 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hello Everyone, Exciting to be getting ready for the 2023 growing season! I am Phoenix Nakagawa, an MSc student under Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst, and I am once again operating the biobed for the 2023 growing season at Carman! I just wanted to send a preliminary email this year to just ask everyone to do their best to fill out the biobed input sheets, located in the weather-proof can on the shipping container. I am hoping to adjust the sheet this year so that you only have to input the active ingredients, brand names, tank size, and total rinsing amount just so that I can manage both the safety and operations of the biobed. Happy growing and see you all out there! Sincerely, Phoenix Nakagawa (She/Her/Hers) - nakagawt [at] myumanitoba [dot] ca B.Sc. (Agroecology), M.Sc.
