  3. Description : Garden Design We’ve laid out the gardens so that all plots are equidistant from a multifunctional building that houses the washing processing and storage areas This setup maximizes daytoday productivity by minimizing onsite foot traffic Soil Preparation Covering the soil with an opaque tarp for a few weeks is how we manage to clean the surface of our beds without having to work the soil This technique is also quite beneficial in reducing weed pressure for the following crop Compost To complete our compost needs we make our own with crop residues and other available carbonaceous material When building the pile we inoculate it with “bokashi” type bacteria which help to decompose the heap without us having to turn it Planting Seeds To speed up the procedure when seeding flats we use a homemade vacuum seeder also known as a plate seeder This simple yet brilliant device uses a vacuum to hold seeds onto a flat plate drilled with small holes to match the seed size and pattern of cells in a tray You then flip over the plate onto a filled cell flat and shut the vacuum off letting the seeds fall into place Seedbed Preparation When cultivating with a hoe it’s much easier to follow a straight line than a wandering one This is why we mark our rows We do so by fitting a few short lengths of interchangeable plastic tubes over the tines of our bed preparation rake Our row spacing calculation is based on the width of the hoes we use and the optimal spacing for each crop Harvesting and Record Keeping To prevent mistakes from happening again the following year we record all our observations in a looseleaf binder with a section

  4. for each crop For each cultivar we note the actual seeding planting and harvesting dates along with the yield produced We also record the number of beds planted which allows us to adjust our targets for the following year if necessary At the bottom of each page we leave a space to note any other useful observations
