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. Even in a no-till system, there are a myriad of uses for the best two wheel tractor on the market.

… and we’re back

I was very excited to get to talk with Pam Dawling of Twin Oaks Community Farm in Virginia for several reasons, only one of which has to do with no-till. Sure, we get into that, but we also talk about considerations for constructing your first high-tunnel, growing year-round in the South, and life on a farm in an intentional community, a topic I’ve been particularly interested in for a while now. You can find links to her book and the Twin Oaks community below. Note: they’re accepting new members if you’re interested!
