Tiffany Colette turns dry, sandy soil into her working partner while coaxing delicious, beautiful vegetables out of the ground in the high, desert of central Colorado.
Colette will be the SOIL Sangre de Cristo guest speaker, at 7 p.m., Feb. 25 the SOIL Sangre de Cristo Speaker Series.
The co-owner of Rocky Mountain Garlic will discuss how she and her husband Mike turned a neglected horse pasture into a bio intensive, no till, permanent bed, vegetable cropping system.
These are the techniques known as regenerative farming. By incorporating manure, compost, mulch, cover crops and rotating into a system to feed the soil and suppress weeds, a high quality desert crop can be produced.
