Lime will be used in the fields and we will likely also top dress beds with finished compost- though we will add this information only if we end up making that purchase.  We practice plant based growing methods. We do not use animal based products like fish emulsion, blood meal, bone or feather meal. Fertility is added to the field via cover cropping, the addition of compost and application of compost tea to the crops.Stonecrop Garden

3/19/2019 15:25:02 Our orchard is pruned on a yearly basis which helps the health of the tree, those pruning are chopped into compost for the orchard floor. Pine bark nuggets and landscaping cloth are used for weed manage in our berry rows. We use dormant oil spray, pyrethrin and scout the orchard for insects and use mating disruption practices. Regular mowing of the orchard floor helps to reduce insect and fungus pressure by allowing better air circulation and leaf dryness. It also lessens the habitat for insects. Hand thinning of fruit during the growing season allows for better quality fruit. If insect pressure becomes severe then other application maybe necessary. For tree health we use dormant oil spray, lime sulfur, calcium, zinc and gypsum, We also use Regalia, Serenade, Copper, Sulfur.   Creasman Farms
