The Power of No-Till Gardening with Kim Ross
Manage episode 455266964 series 3320127
On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Kim Ross.
Kim is a fifth generation farm girl with a 130,000 sq ft no till garden. Kim sells the vegetables she grows using sustainable agriculture practices to food producers and consumers alike. She focuses on growing with the ecosystem so her growing plots do not need to be watered and there is very little pressure from weeds. This minimizes the physical inputs that growing food typically involves so her vegetables are highly competitive in a challenging marketplace.
She is a master photographer, master gardener and a Prairie Horticulture Certificate graduate in both the fruit/veggie and greenhouse streams.
