Depending upon your soil and available space a conventional garden may be a good choice for your homestead.  Conventional gardens will benefit from adding amendments to the soil and adding weed control techniques such as cover crops.

​

A conventional garden starts with plowing and tilling the soil to break the sod.  This is a good time to add nutrition to the soil.  One important tip the great gardening is to focus on feeding your soil.  A healthy soil full of organic material will help your garden produce more food per square foot.

Services offered:

• Plowing will break the sod deep down which helps get nutrients and water into the subsoil helping your plants establish deep roots.

• Tilling helps to break the large dirt clods into smaller more workable soil.  Soil amendments should be added at this time to mix them into your existing dirt to improve the nutrients available to your plants and help with drainage and water retention. 

• Weed control techniques can be incorporated into conventional gardening to reduce the amount of back breaking work required.
