Garden Management
Wilson Home Farms offers a truly unique service for Home Gardeners. You choose, a-la-cart style, the services you would like to have performed, and at what frequency.
|
Vegetable PlanningWilson Home Farms' "Farm Plan Generator" will take your vegetable preferences and turn them into a Farm Plan with planting dates, square foot requirements and estimated yields.
|
Vegetable PlantingArmed with the information of a farm plan Wilson Home Farms can plant your garden by the schedule it creates. If you picked salad, it will be planted monthly for you, if you selected peppers, they will be planted after the danger of the frost.
|
Soil PreparationWilson's Home Farms garden preparation will work your soil the way you want: rototilled or broad forked, amend your soil with the nutrients you select: compost, mushroom soil, and organic fertilizers, and shape your beds how you need them to be shaped.
|
Soil TestingSoil Testing is the first step of understanding what is happening in your soil. Wilson Home Farms uses tests done by the Penn State's Analytical Lab. These reports provide valuable information about your soil's nutrient content as well as recommendations for how to improve the soil.
|
Soil FertilityA soil sample will tell us what your vegetable garden, strawberry patch or apple tree needs to thrive. The next step is having these nutrients added to your soil.
|
Pest & Disease ControlInsects, rodents and disease all want a piece of your garden to call their own. Cabbage Loopers gorge themselves on your Brassicas, Rabbits eat every carrot top that pops out of the ground, and Late-Blight will reduce your Tomatoes to a festering mess if given the chance
|
Fruit Tree CareAll trees require yearly maintenance: fertilization, pruning, training. Trees may require pest and disease management depending on the season.
|
Blueberry CareThe soil blueberries are in require attention to keep it within the range that they need to thrive.
|
Bramble CareBrambles benefit from fertilization as well as pruning to maintain their vigor.
