Here at haywoodle farm we use the no-till, no-dig organic gardening method popularized by charles dowding. Our practices are also heavily influenced by gardeners such as Eliot Coleman, Youngsang Cho, & Jean-Martin Fortier, just to name a few.

 

we never use pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. Pests are eaten by wild birds or predatory insects. weeds, or undesirable vegetation, are removed by hand or with a stirrup hoe. soil fertility is improved by adding lots of organic compost and green manure cover crops.
