The 'lazy, hazy month of August is here, bringing a bit of a slower pace. The organic micro-holding crops have been their usual mix of good and not quite so good, with broad beans and potatoes doing well, and still plenty of produce with which to make lunchtime stir-fry's.
The 'Wild Bunch' hen flock got depleted by the fox -probably a hungry vixen with cubs to feed, and extra fortifications have been the order of the day, to protect the replacement birds, which are proving to be just as lively as their forebears.
Growing via the organic method without chemicals dictates to some extent the pattern of farming/growing and needs carefully worked out rotational land use planning, still based on farming systems in use before the advent of chemical farming systems. Small-scale organic growing is basically similar to organic farming, just with one or two differences.
The word 'organic' can also signify 'natural', and many rural businesses, for instance. started small and then grew 'organically'. Some sort out their housing 'organically'. The work on the micro-holding here could be said to proceed 'organically' ---
