#Plant15 began today with the laying of the the plastic mulch. This is black plastic that we plant into. Drip tape runs underneath to water the plants.
This method reduces the amount of weeding, tilling and watering that we need to do and allows us to plant sooner.
It is typically a day that is cold and windy so today was a wonderful change. Farmer Phil and I got through it and we are still married! (laying plastic together definitely tests your relationship!)
Hi there! I am one of your 'CSA-ers' this year and just took some time to catch up on your posts. What a gorgeous, thrilling life you lead on your beautiful property. It is so amazing to see all the LOVE and HARD WORK you and your family put into this farm. I will be bookmarking your site to visit every few days and follow the progress. Really excited to see what your farm produces for everyone this year. Hope to get out to visit it before the leaves fall! Keep up the great posts :)
