Big expansion plans are underway. We are officially prepping the soil to add 90 new market garden beds, measuring 30 inches by 50 feet, for next season.
We just finished cover cropping this new ground with a heavy seeding of winter rye. Our long-term game plan to open up this space while protecting the soil biology involves a deliberate, low-till transition:
1. Initial one-time tillage to establish the zone
2. Plant a heavy winter rye cover crop (just completed)
3. Crimp the rye in the spring
4. Tarp it with silage tarp to help terminate the winter rye
5. Top each block with a deep layer of compost mulch
By skipping continuous tilling and letting the rye and tarps do the heavy lifting, we are building long-term soil health from day one.

One time tillage now to form 8 permanent bed. Have to measure out beds and pick the few rock and lots of roots. Then we will top with a deep compost mulch to never till again. Follow for our progress. This will then be seeded with winter rye that we crimp and tarp for a few weeks next spring for summer production.

Amazing how one year ago I'd have to put both feet on the broadfork and jump to get it down now can almost push down with one hand. If you need a good broadfork Meadow Creature LLC is indestructible some might say it's heavy but if your ground is compact it is a must then when it is not it does the work for you.

Wouldn't be without the Jang makes planting with precision so much easier. The gridder makes perfect lines to keep straight rows
