Ready to Feed Your Soil

Restoring life to the soil is the first step on the journey to healthy food.  I am excited to demonstrate chemical-free, no-till gardening to others.  This isn't a new way to garden, quite the opposite.  This is returning to how people grew food before chemicals became the normal.

Watch this video on a garden that has been chemical-free, no-till for over 30 years.

I am confident that in 30 years this will be the new normal and people will wonder why we ever thought chemicals were necessary.

   We are packaging the vermicompost in two sizes for retail - 2 qts & 5 qts. We will also sell in larger quantities per requests.

2012

It is February and garden plans are swirling in my head.  We have had an extremely mild winter.  Last year I planted my first crops in the middle of March under a small tunnel.  This year I want to push it up to the beginning of March. 

The lettuce that I left under a tunnel has survived and will be ready to harvest after only a few weeks of warm weather.  I expect to cut lettuce by the end of March.

I have been reading Eliot Coleman's books regarding winter harvests.  He has developed amazing techniques for extending the garden season.  If he can grow in unheated tunnels in Maine, I should certainly be able to do it in Pennsylvania.

We will start to market our vermicompost on a more serious scale this year.  Decisions about packaging size are being made.  We hope to be in a local store by March or April.
