Dry Farming

KNF works really good in this format being that its a foliar feeding system and no need for irrigation …i myself use a kinda “dry farming” method i have ruffle a 20x20ft(6x6m) garden and a few other small beds for flowers and such i use 20-30gal (75-113L) of soil prep formula at the start of the season and only use 5-10gal (18-36L) of water a week, i do fertigation through a hose end sprayer to spray my KNF formulas in my gardens that is when i water …there is a couple weeks out of the year we see high 90F (32C) and i will give the garden a lil extra water on really hot days ….the key is in the starting soil prep we want to add lots of organic material to the soil for water retention by adding compost, biochar, coco coir and/or peat moss into the soil also by using hügelkultur and/or core gardening and deep mulch methods we hold onto a whole lot of moisture then adding IMOs and creating a healthy thriving soil biome we reduce the need to water, using these methods we are recreating the way nature makes the forest floor (who waters the forest?)   …the only  disadvantage i could see might be the time or money spent in the setup depending on what all is done but in my opinion the return on investment we would get by reducing water usage and cost of nutrients by using KNF methods will greatly outweigh the setup in the end

Happy Experimenting – May The Force Be With You

dagoofman…Thank you for the advice.  The initial prep will definitely be a focus, then the IMO.  The land has been fallow for some time so I figured It would need some work. I appreciate your response.
