Improvements

Soil testing and balancing is done yearly. By adding organic forms of the micro and macro nutrients the plants are stronger and the flavors are richer.  With addition of yearly compost and minerals and mowing, not tilling the soil is perfectly balanced and the organic matter is more than 4.5%. This all makes for a stronger soil and making the plants more disease resistant and the fruit more flavorful.
