Winter.
Welcome to our first ever newsletter. Thank you for being so patient with us!
Winter at Woodlands Farm was muddy to say the least!
Winter is often the quietest of the four seasons. This has given us an opportunity to take a little break, plant 1200 trees, build a new website and develop more hemp products including our skin care range!
This time of year is about preparation for planting. Our hemp paddock prep is a little different this year. This season we are aiming to grow a completely chemical free crop. Instead of spraying our paddock with herbicide before planting, we will be doing 2-3 rounds of disc cultivation and fallowing. This will encourage weed seeds to germinate, then plough them into the soil, exhausting the seed bank and giving our hemp seeds a better chance to grow. This would usually be done over the winter months. However, it has been too wet -see tractor photo. Once the paddock dries from the winter weather we will be able to start cultivating!
