Factor E Farm Plantings
Main > Food and Agriculture > Growing plants
Here's what our garden looks like at Factor E Farm. The perimeter is lined with raised beds made from old pallets. The pallets are filled up half way with hay, then two wheel barrows of compost and topped off with soil from around the garden. For our mulch we're using hay that the chickens have scratched up into fine peices.
