Starting with Sickles

The first purchase for Fieldhouse Farm was two sickles for use by the permaculture masters, Jeffrey and Danielle who will begin the first steps of creating the farm by cutting back the tall grasses to clear the land and to create soil from the grasses. One of the most interesting things about this project is that we are growing on a young forest with little to no soil. This is where the expertise of permaculture comes in and where it really gets interesting (stay tuned for the creative ways in which a lava rock field becomes rich fertile ground. Also learn why we love weeds) The next purchase will be a large two wheeled wheelbarrow (yellow of course). The initial use will be to collect lava rocks with which we can build our planting beds.
