Got these lettuces in just before the rain. Has anyone noticed the black flies this season? thankfully they are starting to calm down.
The tool I am using is called a Pottiputki, a stand-up transplanting device. Loving growing plants in soil blocks, they are so easy to handle compared to plugs.
On many beds, due to perennial w**d pressure, we often lay down this biodegradable corn-plastic mulch prior to planting or straw/hay.
All of our transplanted crops are planted by hand on our farm, often by sitting or straddling the beds. It’s always nice to switch it up a bit to help ease the strain on the back.
Also: We are actively seeking part-time help with planting and harvesting for the season. Please get in touch if you have some free time and would like to work like this on the land!
