Our #urbanfarm #notill process for our spinach and arugula:
After harvesting a bed, we first go through and flame it. This helps break down the organic material.
After flaming, we lay down a layer of compost and rake the length of the bed to evenly disperse the compost.
Then we come through with a broad fork to lift and aerate the soil with as little disturbance as possible to the microbiology.
Another raking evens out the bed and creates a consistent tilth. Over the next 2-3 days, we’ll continue to flame and rake to prepare a sterile seedbed.
The far two beds have already gone through this process and are ready for the next step.
Using our #earthwayseeder and @johnnys_seeds Space Spinach seeds, we then plant the beds and finish everything up with a good watering.
It may still be too cold for field greens, but that won’t stop us from having plenty of salad mix at our first market! Vibrant, fresh and crunchy, our salad mix will be cut, washed and ready-to-eat!
You can get yours at the @anchorage_farmers_market on the corner of 15th and Cordova next Saturday, May 7th, starting at 9am.
