Spring & summer soil preparation
The growing season of 2018 was started in May. Steven Lowndes, personal farmer of Perho, explains how the soil is effectively prepared and fertilized by using organic fertilizer. He also explains why it is important not to start preparing the soil too early in a spring.
Some plants are sensitive to contact with the protective fleece covers, especially in windy conditions. For this reason we use stakes and wire or loops to protect the plants.

Our soil at the Green city farm is predominantly a silty clay loam (multava hiesusavi). These are generally rich growing soils, but special care needs to be taken to avoid compaction, and the correct timing for cultivations is often limited.
When these soils get wet they become laborious, especially at harvesting.
