Organic Walkabout | 9:15am – 10:30am
This is a walking lecture where Scott Sigurdson, co-founder of Indian Creek Orchard Gardens, will explain all of the natural growing methods in use at Indian Creek Orchard Garden. These are the methods that allow us to produce safe, healthy, nutrient dense fruit and vegetables without resort to any chemical pesticides or fertilizers of any kind.
We will elaborate on how we use the structure of the orchard garden to create natural partitions that buffer it from disease and insect pressure. We will discuss the pests, the predators, their habitats and the implications. We will also discuss how we use time as a partition as well show you several examples of man made partitions as additional tools in the arsenal of the organic gardener. We will also demonstrate how we use the topography of your site and our drainage system to ensure water autonomy and prevent any offsite contamination from entering our growing areas.
We will touch on the organic w**d control methods we use in the orchard garden. We are reviving many low tech methods that were in use before the chemical revolution in agriculture. Expect to be surprised by some of the equipment you will see.
There will be many many take away’s for the novice and the veteran gardener alike. For our season shareholders, this will give you a solid understanding of how we grow your food and the measures we have in place to ensure that it is healthiest produce available anywhere.
