Trading Non Renewable Petrochemicals for Topsoil
November 26th, 2006I’ve written a post on Farmlet about how Becky and I were able to establish our garden so quickly:
Out of the five acres of land that makes up the Farmlet, only about three square meters of it had friable topsoil that was clear of kikuyu grass. In other words, only about three square meters of our five acre property was immediately suitable for gardening. Even though we have only been on this property for less than a year, we’re now harvesting vegetables—and have lots more growing—in our large, organic garden.
How did we get up and running so quickly?
Gas powered machines and sheet mulching.
