Soil web mapping and land resource management:

I can use a combination of aerial photography, zoning info, climate conditions, and known soil data about your current or prospective farm to find the  best areas to cultivate plants.  This combined with onsite diagnosis and your input we can create a custom soil and feeding program for your farm or find the perfect place to start your new farming operation or land investment. 

Building a quality soil is a path to success:

Using onsite and lab diagnostic techniques together we can get your container media or garden/farm soil kicking into high gear for better yields and quality.  A custom blend of soil amendments, organic/chemical fertilizers, and soil-water monitoring to adjust your feeding schedule to your specific crop with your water quality, existing soil or grow-media, and other factors taken into account.  I am a firm believer in building a healthy microbial population in the soil.  Items such as  worm castings, fish emulsion, compost, humic/fulvic acids and beneficial fungi and bacteria, kelp, guanos and more are can be used to help create the optimal place for plants and the life in the soil to thrive.  Together we can create a custom fertilizer program suited to your personal tastes, budget and gardening philosophy. 

Drip Irrigation:     

             Drip and micro irrigation is effective in helping to reduce water loss to run-off and evaporation.  This saves you money and you don't have a wet sidewalk for someone to slip on.  Drip irrigation gets water to where to plants need it and can be buried underground or covered with an attractive layer of bark or rock/stone top-mulch.
