Own or should we say “rent” your very
own 10’ by 10’ plot for a modest fee to
cover costs. The soil has been tilled,
tested and amended with nutrients. It’s
time to plant!

We softened the earth
We plowed the field

•
Spread soil amendments (Fall 2009)
•
Plant the cover crop (Fall 2009)
•
Plow it under (Feb 2010)
