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.

Hard pruning on the indeterminate tomatoes to help with slug/snail pressure (self.vegan_gardening)

Will this be the year we finally keep up with the tomatoes? Who knows!

There was some clear insect damage at the bottom of the plants so I took off most of the branches below the first set of string trellises. Hopefully removing the excess leaves will improve air flow and minimize the number of slugs/snails that make their way to the fruit.

The next step if we continue to see damage is to add copper netting around the bottom.
