THE POLYCULTURE MARKET GARDEN STUDY \u2013 RESULTS FROM YEAR 4 \u2013 2018<\/a><\/h3>\n

HERE ARE THE RESULTS FROM THE FOURTH YEAR OF OUR MARKET GARDEN POLYCULTURE STUDY. THIS STUDY LOOKS AT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GROWING ANNUAL VEGETABLES AND HERBS IN POLYCULTURES VS GROWING THEM IN\u00a0 TRADITIONAL BLOCKS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this post you will find an overview of the trial garden and the polycultures we are growing, a description of what we record and the 4th year results from the trial. You can find results from previous seasons\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First of all we\u2019d like to say a huge thank you to the team of volunteers that joined us for the study this year and that make it possible for us to carry out our experiments and research. It was a pleasure to work together with you. Thank you Victoria Bezhitashvili, Angela Rice,\u00a0Malcolm Cannon<\/a>, Elise Bijl, Alex Camilleri, Daniel Stradner, Emilce Nonquepan, Ezekiel Orba and\u00a0Chris Kirby Lambert.<\/a><\/div>\n

It was a great a mix of people from all over the world including university students, a crypto fund manager, ex-nintendo web editor and market gardeners. Thank you all for your valuable input, it was our pleasure to host you and we look forward to seeing you again some day.<\/p>\n
