Hello all.
I am interested in getting a plot in the community garden to practice nature farming. Any leftover plots will suit as this is more of an expirement in "do nothing" farming. Christoff's agroecology class has projects to design community garden layouts using different farming techniques. Getting a hands on approach, if possible, makes it easier to design. Cover crops of clover or alfalfa would grow first as a green manure. No till, no weeding and no chemicals are the guidelines that nature farming includes. I can discuss this matter further at the meeting on the 30th. I think this seldom used method can make the community garden unique.
