Since we have owned this property(2009).  It has never been sprayed with any herbicide, fungicide or pesticide.  We also do not use any commercial organic products.  We focus on building our soil health with cow, rabbit and chicken manure, along with compost and ash, with a focus on carbon based input.  We also companion plant, rotational plant and are diligent about walking our garden daily.  We at times employ neem, hydrogen peroxide, beneficial bacteria and beneficial nematodes.

​

The ash comes from our wood burning stoves, we heat our home with wood from trees that have fallen on their own.  And our wonderful neighbors offer wood from their fallen tree's.
