Although the winter is considered the slow time of the year the activities never end. They just move from being outdoors to indoors.
For us that meant to finally have the time to catch up on some reading and getting more familiar with gardening principles and broadening our horizons and understanding.
One book that I bumped into at the local library was “Solar Gardening: Growing Vegetables Year-Round the American Intensive Way” by Leandre Poisson and Gretchen Vogel Poisson.
With the relatively short growing season at higher altitude (~5400 feet) and a low humidity climate this book holds some interesting ideas on extending the growing season that could be adapted to the active fallow methodologies…
I will have to study this book a bit more but I already like that it provides hands on instructions with construction plans that use low cost materials. This looks like a doable project for an experiment…
I will keep you posted.
