His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm - Ralph and Karen Lloyd
Ralph and Karen Lloyd began looking for property in North Eastern Washington in the fall of 2007, concentrating
their search in Kettle Falls, Colville and the Chewelah Valley.
Finding what they believed to be the perfect spot on the west side of the valley in Addy, Washington, they made an offer.
After months of negotiations, the deal fell through.
Their real estate agent suggested another parcel near Lake Roosevelt on the Daisy Mine Road in Rice, Washington.
The Lloyds feel that God performed many miracles to make this farm a reality and to make the garlic grow healthy
and bountiful, so the name of their farm became His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm.
Ralph and Karen truly believe that nothing grows without his helping hand. Praise be to God.
A healthy soil, rich in nutrients and life, is the essential building block of any garden.
Soil is a complex and delicate ecosystem in its own right with a multitude of organisms converting a wide variety
of inactive materials into the essential nutrients that your plants will thrive on. Chemical fertilizers can
destroy these organisms and pull you and your garden into a cycle of dependency.
A fundamental principle of naturally grown gardening is to feed your soil and then let the soil feed your plants.
By providing the materials that the natural fauna and flora in your soil need to thrive, you will encourage more
and more of these hard working little organisms to grow and multiply.
The result, an ever increasing quality of soil with more and more available nutrients.
As your soil develops the effects spread further up the larger ecosystem. Good soil promotes a healthy populations
of worms and worms attract larger garden visitors.
It's not long before even the smallest garden starts to see signs of hedgehogs, toads and other more substantial
beasties. Their presence further adds to the quality of your soil.
You'd be amazed just how much nutrient comes out of the feathery posteriors of the typical family of birds.
