Layered Learning: Leaf Mulch in Practice

2025-06-11T17:22:31-04:00June 11th, 2025||

Curious about using free, organic, and readily available on-site inputs to improve your raised bed system?  Hopestill Farm builds healthy soil by largely avoiding tilling, using leaf mulch as a key ally in a low-till approach. Leaves are filled with nutrients and carbon, making them an excellent amendment. Hopestill’s farmers have found the effects on the soil to be truly remarkable —and while there are still struggles with persistent weeds like quackgrass, they have a lot of lessons and success stories to share.   At this relaxed on-farm dinner and discussion, we’ll be gathering around the practice of using leaf mulch in a no-till system: the benefits, challenges and tools to make it work. Bring your questions and experiences to share with the group!

Join us at Small Farm to either begin or perfect your production plan for four seasons of organic growing in high tunnels. In this workshop, we’ll be discussing everything from planning to washing during the shoulder and “off”-season, as well as how to optimize fertility and watering in your high tunnels. We’ll also discuss on-farm efficiency and affordability, where Small Farm will share their experience with both soil-moisture sensors and post-harvest tools  to make dollars go further.
