🌱 Cover crops feed the soil—which in turn nourishes us.
🌱 Agriculture is a delicate balance. 🌱 When we plant our gardens we take from the soil, we maintain it by adding energy, but how we choose to add that energy matters:
☠️ The synthetic approach: Relying on petroleum derived inputs herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers until living soil turns into lifeless dirt. It requires ever-increasing inputs for ever-decreasing returns.
🌱 The living approach: Feeding the soil system with sustainable energy through organic amendments and cover crops.
When we invest in cover crops, they work double duty, you can put your garden to bed for the winter with rewarding benefits for your next seasons crops.
• Store nutrients for future plantings
• Suppress weeds naturally
• Host beneficial insects
• Improve structure and break up compacted clay
• Provide food for the true producers of your garden: the soil microbiome.
Healthy soil cares for the plants, which in turn care for us. It starts with the right choices, right from seed.
