Do you want to know our SECRET to gardening with hardly any input? Here it is. We let nature plant the seeds for us. Thats it.
This year has really outdone itself with over 40 voluntary plots.
How do we do it? Our pigs enjoy pumpkins, squash and gourds all fall for their natural dewormer (thank you cucurbitin!). Some seeds make their way into our soil. The pigs naturally spread their own manure on the soil all winter. Come Spring, I move the pigs off the winter paddock and I find the voluntary sprouts. We allow that paddock to rest (no hooves on it) and grow a beautiful crop of pumpkins, squash & gourds for the next Fall on the well nourished soil.
Thank you nature! 🌱
