We’ve been very busy working the soil on the farm getting it ready for intensive organic vegetable production. In early spring, this involves plowing the fields: After plowing, we then level out the soil with our roto tiller:
Based on soil tests, we then add organic soil amendments to maintain the fertility of soil. This year, we are applying rock phosphate, green sand, and re-vita pro fertilizer.
We use a hand cranked broadcast spreader to evenly apply the amendments.
After that, the beds are either transplanted into
Or direct seeded, using an Earthway planter
All that is left to do is watch the plants grow!
