The Mother Earth News and Friends podcast shares the stories of leaders in sustainable and rural living. We’re passionate about helping people learn more about natural health, homesteading, sustainability, and more. You can catch new interviews and audio articles on Thursdays.

Azure Farm is located just outside the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta.  We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. The rat race hustle and bustle was quickly replaced by a love for gardening, harvesting food, quiet evenings with the sounds of crickets, and sunny azure sky days. We hope sharing peeks into our daily lives can inspire you to live more of your life outdoors and to ultimately slow down. We are passionate that we all must slow down to really appreciate what matters in life.

In today's episode, we are talking about how to turn your raised bed garden into an edible landscape. 

This is the second in a series of episodes about strategies for growing double the food with one tenth of the effort.

Tilling can be a lot of work. And while the short-term benefits can be excellent, the long-term consequences are huge. Every time you till, you lose 30% of the organic matter in the soil and destroy the soil structure. There are strategies that lead to better growth and require less water and nutrients.
