What do you do when it becomes cost prohibitive or environmentally irresponsible to farm in cetain ways?
You get creative!
We collect water in raibarrels next to our barn. We water crops like seedlings but not items that we will be cutting for greens.
The Whidbey Island Conservation District is a great resource for planning out good practices on your farm. I reccomend contacting them before you ever start a garden or farm.
