Rooted Organics

This last trip to the farm we built hugle mounds in between some of the fruit trees to connect them and help retain water. We layered small logs and tons of cotton wood that we had around the property. Then layered old potting soil and topped with cow compost and mulch. I tossed about 5 lb of wildflower mix on top and watered in. I am building mulch "islands on our borders and a few on the interior of the property. Hopefully they will all connect eventually. The first one I built 6 years ago and it is now filled with pineberries , hollyhocks, apples ,plums, and mint. There is also some vetch and clover. I spread a build a soil cover crop mix all over the property and we still have some thing pop up. I will be using this page for farm updates from now on.
