Winter is Coming at Ellan Farm!

The fields have just been ploughed to make way for Winter as we plant a mix of buckwheat, green clover and winter rye. It’s a relief to have been able to proceed as planned following last week’s storms and we’re amazed to see the sun still shining through at this time of year, a welcome boost as we prepare the soil for the months ahead.

This next stage reflects an organic way of protecting and nourishing the soil, ensuring continued growth and promoting sustainable farming for future seasons.

Each crop brings its own natural benefits:
·      Green Clover is a natural soil fertiliser that improves soil health by attracting beneficial insects, reducing compaction while retaining moisture. It also supresses weeds through its dense growth.

·      Buckwheat improves soil by acting as a quick-growing cover crop that suppresses weeds, increases organic matter, enhances soil structure, and prevents erosion. Buckwheat also attracts insects improving the soil ecosystem.

·      Winter Rye also offers significant benefits for soil health by suppressing erosion with its ground cover, improving soil structure with its deep root system, scavenging excess nitrogen to prevent leaching while also suppressing weeds.

By working with nature instead of against it, we’re continuing our commitment to organic, regenerative and sustainable farming practices that keep Ellan Farm thriving season after season.
