Outdoor Land Use Committee Meeting

"This year we are trying something new in the market garden. After 20 seasons of "traditional" organic tillage, we are establishing permanent "no-dig" beds. The beds are covered with a thick mulch of compost to build fertility and suppress weeds. The paths between the beds are filled with wood chips to invite beneficial fungi into the garden environment. We hope this method will reduce labor, produce nutrient dense vegetables, build topsoil, and sequester atmospheric carbon."
