 | | Myrie cultivates organic pak choi, corn, lettuce, okra, tomato, sweet pepper, pumpkin and callaloo on an expanse of land on the fringes of the Bulls Bay wetlands. | | | She said organic farming reduces the need for consistent irrigation as the mulch retains the moisture in the soil, at the same time boosting quality of the produce. | | | Hyacinth Myrie tends to lettuce on her small farm in Bulls Bay, Hanover. |

| | Vegetable farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In America, vegetable farms are in some regions known as truck farms; "truck" is a noun for which its more common meaning overshadows its historically separate use as a term for "vegetables grown for market". | | | Such farms are something called muck farms, after the dark black soil in which vegetables grow well. | | | Modern hydroponic farming yields very high yields in greenhouses without using any soil, but expends much more energy. |

| | Vegetable Farming (from vegetable) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia |
| | Good cultivation and preparation of the ground are important for successful vegetable growing, and it is also desirable to practice a rotation of crops as in farming. | | | Dry farming depends upon efficient storage of the limited moisture in the soil and the selection of crops and growing methods that make the best use of this moisture. | | | Vegetable production includes all the operations required for planting, growing, harvesting, storage and marketing, and weed, pest, and disease management. |

| | Weed control in ecological vegetable farming |
| | Use of cover crops can also be used in vegetables, but because of their cometitive ability towards the crop, they are usually sown later during the growing season, when the critical period ready is over. | | | The use of fallow is often a neccesary evil in organic farming to control weeds. | | | This involves different methods of reducing the soil seed bank by avoiding dissemination of weed seeds in all crops in the crop rotation, and to control weeds effectively before and after the crops. |

| | RESEARCH METODOLOGIES IN ORGANIC FARMING |
| | However, considering farms as natural scientific and technical units was not sufficient because the multiple perspectives of organic vegetable producers, as well as other actors, made the definition of the relevancy of the issues difficult. | | | The hypothesis is that on the other farm, the existing problem with couch grass (Elymus repens) is partly due to the rule-like role crop rotation has in their farming system. | | | The project "Participatory Development of Organic Vegetable Farms" began in 1995 was aimed at defining relevant issues in development and research of organic vegetable farming (Seppänen, 1996). |
