Hood Hills Farm

We have had a hard time keeping our freshly seeded carrot beds moist. Check out Will’s solution, a super cheap and easy watering system made with leftover parts from the greenhouse over head watering system. Works like a dream! It’s really easy to fix any clogs, really easy to move, and it hooks up to our drip irrigation system. It’s the same nozzles that we use for our overhead in the greenhouse, they are just zip tied upwards on bamboo steaks costing around $40 per line. #hoodhillsfarm #carrots #wateringsystem #usewhatyouhave #brokefarmersmakingithappen

This compost tea is starting to get frothy! We are putting together a small little video on how to make your own blubbling tub of living microorganisms for healthy plants and soil! Just like our gut, soil needs healthy bacteria to thrive! I know, I know... in times of COVID we’re not supposed to talk about DIRTY things like bacteria. Some bacteria is GOOD, and on the farm, we try to keep it funky all around... our guts, our soil, our music.. #hoodhillsfarm #gotfunk #getfunky #composttea #funkadelic #guthealth #soilhealth #regerativeagriculture

If you were wondering about adding worms to your compost, and if it really works... Here is proof! 🤩🥳 @leandrrrrr they love the fermented grain! #hoodhillsfarm #worms #soilmicrobiome #compost

We gave the compost another turn yesterday. And it is FILLED with many types of worms. Fat ones, short ones, long ones, skinny ones, red ones, black ones, and pink ones.... and they all have one thing in common... HAPPINESS. We noticed such a difference between our farm made compost and the organic product that we usually buy. Even though we pay top dollar for the best, nothing compares to your own. It holds so much water, and we found out last year with all of the power outages, our farm may need to go periods of time without watering. (No power, no water pump) The crops that were planted in our ‘no till’ section with our own compost held up so much here better with the power outages, because they needed to be watered much less. So, this year we are really focusing on our own compost and a ‘No till’ system on our farm. #hoodhillsfarm #notill #compost #worms #dontdiscriminate #regenerativefarming #savetheplanet
