Comments on: Big Hill Farm: Students work to reap what they sow http://weekly.blog.gustavus.edu/2009/05/08/big-hill-farm-students-work-to-reap-what-they-sow/ The Gustavus Adolphus College student newspaper since 1891 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:19:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Justin Case http://weekly.blog.gustavus.edu/2009/05/08/big-hill-farm-students-work-to-reap-what-they-sow/comment-page-1/#comment-23320 Justin Case Sat, 26 Dec 2009 06:42:50 +0000 http://weekly.blog.gustavus.edu/?p=771#comment-23320 I think this is incredible. It is exciting to students and others reverting back to mother nature as it was intended to be. I don't think folks realize it, but this type of farming is all that is going to work before long. It would be amazing if whole communities would work to have community farms/gardens to produce what they need to sustain themselves, instead of everyone running off to the grocery stores. I hope they will use little cultivation and allow the soil to do as natural soil does. Only disturb enough to plant the seed. Use lots of compost like straw or newspapers for weed control. This exciting to read about. Good on ya all. Justin I think this is incredible. It is exciting to students and others reverting back to mother nature as it was intended to be.
