Raised beds are good to keep weeds from your garden soil, prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage, and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails. On our farm we are also using them to provide designated growing areas. . . . #growfoodeverywhere #growfood #raisedbeds

Foraging for wild mushrooms is best done after the rains. Always be sure to cut off at the stalk so that they can regrow next season 🍄🍄🍄 . . . #growfood #wildfood #foraging #wildmushrooms

One of the most important elements of organic farming is the relationship between the desirable and undesirable insect... it's having the good guys winning the fight. This happens more naturally in an environment where chemical insecticides are not found.. like on our farm. Whats more I also believe that there is a better purpose for bird cages.... like insect hotels. We found this bird cage at a trash and treasure, with the intention of housing thousands of little bugs. This one is headed for the vegie patch. Want to come and learn how to build your own?
