Brochure

This brochure describes a mulch demonstration project set up to determine if mulch derived from partially composted yard trimmings could successfully reduce soil erosion in hillside vineyards. The study was conducted in Napa and Sonoma Counties during the winter months of 1999 and 2000 with funding provided by the California Integrated Waste Management Board.
