Summer, my daughter, and her boyfriend Aaron created the farm in our backyard. This spring Aaron was an intern at the Green String Farm in Petaluma. While there he learned a lot about analyzing soil and replenishing it with microbial tea and crushed rock. He wanted to start a garden in our back yard and enlisted the help of Summer. They brought our soil up to snuff and started planting. We are so thankful for this and are enjoying the yummy veggies. The more prolific ones are Napa Cabbage, Butter Lettuce and Arugula, my favorite lettuce. Echinacea, Broccoli, Green Onions and Tomatoes are doing OK too. Aaron set us up with a worm compost bin that he found at a garage sale. He ordered the worms especially for this purpose. Now we throw bits of our compostables from the kitchen into the bin and the worms make it into rich soil and “tea” for the garden!
