ANR/Crop & Soil Science

Stop vine crops from taking over your garden and lawn by pinching off the fuzzy growing tips. This also directs the plant’s energy into ripening fruit rather than producing more vine.

Watering properly is the key to conserving water in the heat of summer. One inch per week applied at one time will wet the soil six to eight inches deep and insure good yield from you mature crops. Two inches of organic mulch will cool the soil and reduce surface evaporation of water.

If you are harvesting and must leave your produce outdoors for several hours, provide some shade to keep the fresh foods succulent and reduce the conversion of sugars to starch.
