Turn of century donkey farm. I had horses on property originally when I moved here. The girls brought the apple trees down here. Started putting in gardens when broke ground for new house. Then started flower farming. Always organic, cover cropped, and composted. Healthy sunny knoll with great soil. Hand dug the puppies pond which got larger and had five different frog species breeding plus .,. Environmental science degree at work...

No drainage problems ever , slight slope, designed large growing beds to be relatively flat.

No chemicals ever. More maintenance than time for growing past few years.
