A community for vegan gardeners to share their successes and learnings.
Vegan gardening (or veganic gardening) is gardening without the use of animal agriculture including common inputs like manure, bone and blood. It also avoids chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Instead of these elements veganic gardening uses crop rotation, mulching, compost, green manures, etc to replenish the soil and minimize loss to pests.
Everyone is welcome to participate, but if you are not vegan or a vegan gardener, please refrain from posting about non-vegan practices or debating the merit of this method.
We were able to get some garlic after we took preventative measures and cut back the scapes. Only a few of the garlic had apparent damage on them (shown below), but the total harvest was less than we recall planting.
We will dig a new bed in another part of the garden and hope for better next year. Luckily we still have a lot of last year's garlic powder to get us though and can use use cloves for some fresh eating and to plant next year's crop.
