We are a rural coffee shop located beside the beautiful Glencar Waterfall, Co. Leitrim, Ireland. We are on very heavy clay soil and initially created some raised beds but have since started beds just on the weedy ground, following the no-dig principal, trying to reduce slug damage now with woodchip paths. We grow the majority of our salad leaves for the coffee shop utilising the techniques shared by Charles for harvesting which we are also educating our staff about. We compost as much as we can from the teaSHED with used coffee grinds a great addition in raising the heat of our composts piles.
