How We Grow
The Soil association way
Step
Seed is sourced from certified suppliers, derogations are applied for from the Soil Association. At present very little organic tree seed is available.
Step
Seed is mixed with moist organically certified compost
Step
Germination takes place in the fridge. We constantly check for the perfect time to transfer germinated seeds into trays
Step
Individual seedling trays are transferred to our nursery covered area until ready to be hardened off outdoors
Step
When seedlings are established and hardened off they are transplanted into our Soil Association certified organic field nursery
Step
Then begins the constant hand weeding; no chemicals, sprays or fertilisers come into contact with our plants so all weeds are pulled by hand
Step
Plants are hand watered but only during periods of prolonged drought; this is because the natural slow growing process means that formal irrigation is not needed and the strong organic soil is naturally moisturised
