Fertility
is maintained by growing green manure crops in rotation,
and by adding composts of plant material and sheep manure from our own
flock. These enrichments build biologically active soils. Nothing is
brought to the farm --- it creates its own organic soils which literally
flower. With this dynamic at work, our Daylilies
have no need of synthetic petrochemical fertilizers; indeed, this
organic soil would be damaged by them.
No pesticides
(herbicides, fungicides or insecticides) are used to selectively kill
living organisms in the fields.
Beauty
springs forth every day from soils as full of life as the surrounding
meadows and forests. We rejoice in the blooming fields.
