Other
basic practices on this farm include using mulch (wheat straw),
interplanting flowers with vegetables,
rotating crops, growing nitrogen fixing crops, beekeeping, promoting a
good population of beneficial insects and native pollinators by
minimizing soil disturbance and saving and distributing seed for
borders of plants that aid in attracting and maintaining beneficials,
increasing use of flame control and mowing of weeds in winter, and
continual learning and researching in order to identify and implement
good practices we are not already doing.
