Compost is King<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Soils = Healthy Plants = Healthy People<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday was Valentines Day so of course we celebrated by making a giant compost pile. While shovelling horse manure and weeds into a pile may not be romantic to some, the end product is well worth the effort. Making good quality compost is both a science and art and is a skill which improves with practice. Compost is the world’s best fertiliser, it generally has a neutral pH, is high in organic matter (sequesters carbon) and contains a large spectrum on mineral and biological soil nutrition. In chemical free farming we feed the soil then the soil feeds the plants rather than feeding the plants with water soluble fertilisers. This pile was made from local horse manure, raked up leaves and accumulated weeds from the market garden. Our piles are static, meaning we do not turn them but they are watered periodically to keep the moisture up. We will soon be sourcing both Rock Dust and Biochar to add to our compost to make it even more potent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crops currently growing but not ready are Sugar Snap Peas, Bok Choi, Capsicums, Coriander, Parsley and Basil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celery needs no introduction to most people however it is worth noting that it is one of the more heavily sprayed vegetables in Chemical Agriculture with most testing of off the shelf Celery returning residues of one or more Biocides (Life Killers) such as Herbicide or Pesticide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celery is a crop where eating Organic is very important. Our Celery is a deeper green than most and is delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celery can contain the following nutritional and health benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
