During the 2018-2019 growing seasons we explored how our Permanent Raised Beds (PRB)  affect soil health, weed management, and yield. A Permanent Raised Bed system intentionally designates permanent growing space for crops that is cultivated year after year, and often includes tilling the rows while leaving the inter-rows untouched. However, we have established our system as a no-till system to reduce soil disturbance and weed seed germination. As organically managed farm, we have found this system to be an effective way to passively manage weeds, without the use of herbicides.
