Farming God’s Way in the USA
Lynn and Carmen attended one of our trainings last year and made the decision to implement Farming God’s Way in their home garden. Lynn immediately went home after the class and started covering the garden area with leaves and grass clippings to start building up his mulch cover…aka God’s blanket.
I (Josh) was invited to help them on planting day and was amazed at the cover already established on their garden. It literally took us five minutes to weed the entire garden. Lynn informed me that in the past you could not even tell the garden area from the rest of the yard due to all the weeds. Being the case on planting day, he would normally till up the entire area because of all the weeds, then start planting. This year he immediately started planting without the labor involved with tilling. While checking the soil moisture content, I noticed that the soil was still moist 6+ inches deep and it had not rained in almost a week and a half. Click here to see the video clip. We have a feeling their tiller is going to start collecting a lot of dust from here on out.
They have been thrilled with the harvest results and minimal labor that’s now involved in preparation and maintenance. We love going to visit with them. Not only does it excite us to see how God has blessed them for their faithfulness, but they bless us with lots veggies from their abundant harvest as well.
Lynn recently sent the below picture of their tomato plants stating, “What I don’t like about Farming God’s Way…tomatoes are too short.” Good one Lynn!
