We’ve been exploring different options for our garden. In the past we’ve done some raised beds, full rototilled beds, and heavily mulched beds… this no till method is our next experiment. I’m pretty sold on this subject… It’s all about the soil!

This has been my first full year in Oregon in over 20 years. We’ve been living in much drier environments. Drier air, drier soil and drier shoes. If you don’t own a pair of rubber boots you are a soggy footed feirmeoir when you are in the field. This year especially. January dropped nearly 5″ of rain… still about 1.5″ off the record of 6.6″ in 1936. During heavy rainfall, I felt like 5″ fell in one storm… by the way, how exactly do you measure rainfall?
