Does anybody here want to talk about what we THINK we know about agriculture and maybe what the Great Awakening COULD mean for food production in the future?
I believe the Great Awakening will apply to far more than politics and its nice to discuss other things from our unique perspective 🐸
I garden in a potager style it’s Flowers herbs and veggies with winding paths and some geometric raised beds. Gets messy by August but it’s also abundant and pretty.
That's great! Who cares about a mess when you're giving away more food than your friends and family can eat?
How are you handling fertilization? Do you have areas that produce heavily and need nutrient replenishment? Or are crops that come off the land mixed in well enough with soil building and pollinator plants that you can let nature handle it?
I don’t til. I use organic fertilizers like fish emulsion, and compost and compost tea. Sometimes Epsom salt. I always plant with compost and bone meal in the planting hole. Sometimes stuff dies. I try again.
That's frigging sweet! No till organic is definitely the way forward.
