I’m really happy with how our clover and oat cover crop experiment worked out. Oats help suppress w**ds, catch unstable nitrogen(N) that may leach down in the soil or run off to save for our next crop, and have allelopathic or w**d seed suppressing properties when it’s terminated. You can also harvest the milky oats and straw for medicinal uses or let your animals graze it for a nutritious forage. Clover is a legume that fixes N in the soil, can create a living mulch, and produces flowers that feed various pollinators. These 2 are commonly sown together in cover crop mixes for how well they work together. We haven’t w**ded since planting in fall; I'm impressed with the w**d suppression from the two. After we harvest the milky oats later in spring we’ll mow it down and transplant herbs and veggies into it. The goal is to keep the clover as a perennial(2+ years) living mulch. This will help keep the w**d pressure down, give fertility to our soil, add ecological diversity, and feed many beneficial insects. If you have idle garden or farm space in the cool season we highly recommend giving oats and clover a try! 🍀🐝🦋🦗

I started Cedar Rain Medicinals(CRM) doing primarily landscaping cause it’s hard as hell to be a farmer today. I had to stop farming and start landscaping when I found out I was gonna be a dad.

Over the years I’ve found purpose and passion in farming, community work, healing work, and habitat restoration. With CRM I now see the opportunity to bring all these together, not having to pick just one.

My intentions for the future of CRM is to establish a farm that regeneratively grows indigenous, medicinal plants and food crops. My hopes are to get these foods & medicines to my community while serving as a research/model farm for the potential of regenerative, indigenous farming in South Louisiana.

To fund our transition I’m still offering landscaping services, garden building, food forest planting, and regenerative farming consulting. I’m excited to announce we decided to also start offering herbal preparations made with foraged and locally grown medicinal plants. You can find us this Sunday Barn Therapies for our market debut! Thank y’all for follow us on this journey we’ve been and wherever it takes us!

Seed increase success 😁🌱 My cousin, Seth Howard, came by and gave me a hand harvesting mucuna (aka velvet bean). I planted a row of mucuna in spring(see previous post) and it swallowed 3 rows of plants. It’s very aggressive and produced a lot of biomas. Proving again to be a fantastic cover crop for w**d control and adding organic matter to the soil; not to mention all the nitrogen added since it’s a legume. I feel mucuna has great potential to be a powerful soil building, w**d surpressimg cover crop used in all scales of growing for us here in the Southeast. I’ll dry all these and use most to plant at least a 1/4 of an acre next year. I’ll save some to experiment making herbal medicine with too.

*Side note is that I was late to harvest a bunch of beans that already dropped seed so I will be monitering the potentional for it to become an invasive. There’s no evidence of it doing so but it can be almost scary watching it swallow everything so I’m testing it on my own.

Amazing watershed region.

What major watershed do you live in? I'm within the watershed of the Kittacuck, also known as the Blackstone.

This heat is something serious but these invasives are too! There’s various invasive species that wreak havoc on our unique ecosystem here in South Louisiana. Some of the worst ones are Chinese tallow(chicken trees) and Chinese privet. Plants like these quickly take over disturbed/cleared areas outcompeting our beloved native species. Clearing out these invasives can help open up your land for native plants to come up naturally or we can get y’all jump started by planting some established natives to fill your newly reclaimed space. If you’re interested in invasive plant removal and habitat rehabilitation we’d be happy to see how we can help. Call or message us for a free quote 🌳
