WUR International Land and Water Management student Eveline Nales carried out soil research for The Linen Project during the 2021 growing season. Her online logbook @grow_with_us_tlp documents her activities and observations related to flax cultivation at our locations at the Netherlands Open Air Museum and at Ekoboerderij de Lingehof as part of the Shared Stewardship community. A selection of heritage varieties cultivated at both locations allowed Eveline to investigate, amongst other things, the relationship between the flax development, the availability of water in the soil, and the organic matter content. According to Eveline, carrying out practical scientific research in and on the field, beyond the literature, was an invaluable part of the experience. All images courtesy of Eveline Nales.
