The Farm Fairy @ your backyard strives to create fertile ground for new ideas, a new way to get people in close connection to the food they eat, one garden at a time.
“Let’s Grow our Food Together”
How it works:
We set up a garden based on the Square Foot Gardening method of Mel Bartolomew. It is a popular method, an effective and tidy way to create a mini farm in your back yard and that will give you back a bunch of fresh healthy vegetables.
We need an area that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, that stays clear of trees and bushes in that way, roots and shade don’t interfere, close to the house and with an spigot.
Layout:
*The mini farms are arranged in squares (boxes that hold the compost mix).
*The watering system consist in a layout of drip irrigation with a timer that makes the watering task a lot simpler and efficient.
*Number of boxes, depending on your family needs.
• We set up the minifarms (boxes with compost and watering system) and they are yours to keep.
• You do the rest (planting, weeding, staking, monitoring the plants health, harvesting, etc).
*You provide the compost from your nearest gardening center.
Gardening tips and advice will be offered anytime online.
We offer these options:
A mini farm (large) that can provide produce to a family of 4.
A mini farm (small) that can provide produce for a couple. (or vegetables and flowers for a single)
You need to let us know about you, in example: how often do you cook at home, how many people are in your family, any vegetarian?, any animal running loose in your backyard?
Based on the information you provide we’ll advice you which option of mini farm suits your family need best.
