From November through February here in zone 5a, we rarely water the veggies in our cold frames and polytunnels. And when it’s coldest, from mid-December to mid-February, we usually don’t water them at all. In this video, I talk about when and how we water veggies in our cold frames and polytunnels.
OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
