Mike and Kelli Roberts of Roots Farm will demonstrate new weeding tools and techniques such as “flame weeding” for maximizing production without a tractor in an intensive small plot. Innovative techniques include “occultation”, “solarization”, “flame weeding”, and “stale seed beds.” State-of-the-art hand hoes, wheel weeders, and wheel hoes will also be on display. Roots Farm is a 1.3 acre certified organic vegetable farm run by Mike and Kelli Roberts in Tiverton.
