Every year, agricultural topsoil is lost through run-off and is depleted from farming. Anyone who's walked in an old forest has seen Nature's wisdom and Nature's ideal recycling techniques. LESS artificial fertilizer is used when natural compost is applied to rejuvenate farm growing soil. Excessive algae sucks up the oxygen, killing fish. A tremendous quantity of algae quickly silts over and plugs up lakes and ponds, causing their death.
Bacteriological explosions caused by artificial fertilizers also stimulate growth of germs .
This natural technique dramatically lowers or avoids the NEED for artificial fertilizers and chemicals. This is how forests have been nourished naturally since the dawn of time, for millions of years. Ticonderoga Farms grows Christmas trees and landscaping nursery trees, using the rich soil from natural compost. For decades, Ticonderoga Farms has enriched its growing soil by natural composting of wood, leaves, and grass. This improves the agricultural soil of our region.
