BCS products came to America in the early 1970’s at a time when Americans were re-discovering the joys of vegetable gardening and pursuing self-sufficiency. Almost forty years later, there are now many tens of thousands of BCS owners in the US and Canada. Like BCS in Italy, the mission of BCS America is to increase your productivity and reduce the physical effort required to accomplish your outdoor tasks, projects, and farm work. Now introducing the 30” spreader attachment for adding a consistent layer of compost/amendments to a standard 30” bed.
… and, we’re back!
Today, we welcome Yoko and Alex of Assawaga Farm to the podcast. We loved this episode for so many reasons. The “outside the box…” err… country crop selections close to Yoko’s heritage, their super energy efficient greenhouse setup, their grit and determination to start their farm, current challenges, and—most importantly—the learning, mentoring, and putting into practice methods from fellow no-till growers!
