our backyard garden ft. on the blog ✨ “We practice regenerative farming, encouraging the entire ecosystem to work together to produce a bountiful harvest - right in our backyard. Our homemade compost is a year of saving banana peels, veggie and fruit scraps, egg shells, and used coffee grounds to mix with backyard leaves, mulch, and garden scraps. This is how we craft our compost each year and we top the beds with a layer of clean, biodegradable cardboard boxes to serve as a chemical-free weed barrier. All our beds are constructed with upcycled materials (from nature, trash picked, given to us, etc.), and slowly over time, we’ve been able to purchase posts, fencing, cages, and tools. Most things around here are secondhand, and our backyard is no exception. We keep every single fruit container, plastic cup, or pot - even toilet paper rolls we use to start seeds in. As Ryan says, it’s a labor of love backed by science. We sit down and strategically plan where every single plant goes in our garden, mixing flowers in between food to attract pollinators and deter bugs. We do not use any chemical or harmful products on our food or flowers.”Full feature on the blog ✨ diygarden upcycled garden gardening njgarden nofarnersnofood organicgardening blog blogger consciousliving organic flowers organicgarden organicfarm organicfarming regenerativefarming regenerative blog diy
