PLANTING GARLIC - NO DIG BOKASHI - COLD CLIMATE FOOD FOREST PERMACULTURE FARM & CSA MARKET GARDEN

In this week's FARMVLOG, while we move the goats onto fresh grazing within our silvopasture system, we talk about why we NEED BETTER FENCING and why it will make our work faster and easier. We then head to the market garden where we grow organic vegetables for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) veg box business. We're planting a bed of garlic, to be harvested next year. We look at the variety of garlic, talk about hard neck and soft neck and also talk the planting spacing and also boost the soils organic matter, water holding capabilities and weed suppressing abilities by adding a thick no dig mulch of bokashi (our compost, not compost).

About Tap o' Noth Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, a quarter acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market garden and 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden farm/homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. We practice home scale to small farm scale agroforestry and regenerative agriculture methods to produce organic fruit and vegetables, raise dairy goats for all our raw milk needs, Shetland sheep and geese to graze our silvopasture and coppice systems and laying hens, moved around in a Chickshaw, for an abundance of eggs.

If you're looking for even more content from James and Rosa then you can become a patron of Tap Farm. It takes James between 5-10 hrs to edit our vlogs, let alone the time it takes to film and farm at the same time! Your support will aid us greatly in producing our FARMVLOGS, enabling us to take the time needed to craft a beautiful film and to help fund the licences needed for the vlog soundtrack. We will list your name at the end of each vlog episode so everyone knows how brilliant you are! We will also keep you updated on our farm work/life by posting exclusive video content that is not available on YouTube such as FARMVLOG outtakes, behind the scenes footage, hints & tips and more in depth videos discussing the many permaculture systems to be found on the farm PLUS the odd photo from Rosa and James.
