We are transitioning our conventional organic garden to a regenerative organic no-till garden. Many changes will have big effects! We are using compost to form permanent beds and continue to build organic matter. We are using heavy mulches between rows to reduce weed pressure, in our case, it is soiled straw. Cover crops that add organic biomass, fix nitrogen in the permanent beds, cover and protect the soil are planted in fallow areas and at the base of crops. Tarps were used over the winter and early spring and until beds are created or planted to reduce weed pressure by smothering weeds and weed seed. We will post progress throughout the transition…wish us luck as it feels like we are in totally new territory..the learning curve is high!
