I realize you’re not all farming in your free time. I know you may not need to personally utilize the information in this video. The reason I’m posting it here is to show you how we prepare our beds for our crops. That way, the next time I give you a butternut squash as a gift, you understand why I’m so dang proud of it.

Thoughtful intention goes into our farming practices here at Fail Better Farms. Research shows that strong, healthy crops are a result of healthy, living soil. I know it maybe feels a little strange at first to think of soil as living, but I promise it’s a thing. Preparing our beds in the Spring with a broadfork rather than a rota-tiller allows the living organisms in the soil to thrive. If they thrive, so do our plants, and so do we.

Watch Aaron broadfork a bed in order to aerate the soil. It's all about giving the earthworms a break, people.
