It occurred to me that you might like to see a lawn that was planted and maintained using the some of the products from this site.

The pictures here are of my lawn at Dog Team Road in early spring after the first mowing. You may be surprised to know that, I let the Clover, Creeping Charlie and other, so called weeds, participate in the community of plants that is a lawn.

Clover, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Alfalfa, Creeping Charlie or Ground Ivy, all contribute nitrogen to the soil and reduce the need for fertilizer inputs.

Control of these plants is done by proper mowing methods. I try to get the dandelions before they go to seed heads but, don't worry too much as, the bees need them in the early spring when nothing else is flowering and the winter stores at the hive are used up.

During the growing season, I fertilize using the Neptune's Harvest products and the occasional broken bag of organic fertilizer that pops up here sometimes.

In the spring, I sometimes have to mow more than once a week.

When ordering seed, plan as far ahead as possible and know as much about the seed you wish to buy before you order it. Each farm has different soil, climates and equipment constraints, and you know best what you need. If you don't, call us and we'll help you make a selection to to the best of our ability.

  • Some organic grains are in short supply now due to a few emerging problems. The biofuels industry is competing with land otherwise used for planting of food crops.
  • Emerging markets in Africa and Asia are putting s strain on supply and crop failures of already scarce crops are a problem too.
  • GMO crops are contaminating some farmer's lands and the corporations are tying them up in court preventing them from producing new seed. Download By Clicking Here

Whenever possible we are substituting non-GMO, untreated conventional seeds on our pages where you would ordinarily find organic seed.
