Our farm leans heavily on regenerative soil health practices like no-till, cover crops, and reduced chemistry & synthetic fertilizer use.
As a result, we were able to produce an impressive pumpkin crop despite one of the driest years on record, without irrigation.
Our pumpkin patch got zero w**d spray and zero tillage and is clean as a whistle. The cover crop rye straw mat does all the heavy lifting.
Those sunflowers do a lot more than look pretty. Their root system is an underground mining system, bringing next years fertilizer from deep below up to the above ground plant material that will decompose next spring, feeding the next crop.
This regen style farming is really hard work. It would be so much easier to spray and till. But it’s also so much more fun, rewarding, healthy, and it just feels like the right thing to do.
