Trench Irrigation

We test fill the trench to find a natural level to enable water to fill the trench evenly. Final level adjustments are made while the trench is filling. Thanks Guys and Gals. Great job!

Building the Trench

Many of our plants DO NOT like foliage watering. Water is directed to the roots of the plant by building a trench and filling with water. Soil from the trench building is used to build-up the level of soil around the potato plants. Potatoes and tomatoes like being topped up with soil- this will encourage root growth along the stem and potato setting in the 'new' soil.

To Compost or not to Compost? ... There is really no question about it!

We use an improvised large lockable container to compost. You can see that we have dumped some of our left over Chrysanthemum potted soil to our compost.
