albuquerque: Grass Grows Greener on NM Farms - 08/06/10 10:36 AM
You don’t need much help to grow lush green grass here in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. We have the sun 300+ days per year, the sandy loam topsoil, and the water. Water is the most important ingredient here in the high desert where rainfall is scarce, on average only 8 inches per year. The water for our farms comes from the Rio Grande, which is fed by last winter’s mountain snow flowing downriver. Dammed and partially diverted at a number of points north and south of Albuquerque, it flows into the ditches and floods our fields. All you need to do … (0 comments)

albuquerque: ALBUQUERQUE NORTH VALLEY 2 + ACRE FARM - 07/28/10 02:09 PM
It would look a lot better in shades of green, but this excellent sandy loam Rio Grande River bottomland has lain fallow for several years since the owner stopped leasing it out to neighboring farmers. 905 Green Acres Place is within walking distance to Albuquerque Old Town. Right near the intersection of I-25 and I-40, you can raise crops or livestock to your heart's content. The price for all this land, including surface irrigation rights from the Rio Grande, is $409,000. A 1,200 sq.ft. house, site built in 1993, goes along with it at this low price. Get on your tractor … (0 comments)

albuquerque: Bosque Farms Basics - 07/26/10 02:04 PM
Bosque Farms is in the middle of the high desert of New Mexico. The long trump suit in our playing hand is the Rio Grande River, which forms our western border. Without irrigation water from the river and occasional help from above, our verdant lawns, gardens, pastures and fields of grass and alfalfa hay would dry up. Water is of paramount importance to our farming community. Bosque Farms' motto is “Preserving Rural America,” and at our house we’ve done our best since 1991. We are Brian and Laura Warden of choicesrealestate.com in Albuquerque.

albuquerque: The Wardens of Bosque Farms, New Mexico - 07/26/10 01:57 PM
Laura Warden and I grow some fine chemical-free vegetables and grapes here. Bosque Farms lies a few miles south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We Wardens have no heavy equipment, so our soil is still soft enough to dig by hand with a round shovel. After a rain, even the riding arena soil often trampled by 5 horses is arable. We are able to support our own family on the produce from our half acre garden. What we don’t eat, we freeze, pickle or can. Last year we filled a medium-sized chest freezer and exceeded 200 quarts of canned goods. Jars of … (2 comments)

albuquerque: A RAINY DAY IN BOSQUE FARMS - 07/26/10 01:47 PM
Bosque Farms. With a weed, the trick is to uproot it while the fertile sandy loam soil is wet and soft. You’re going to get muddy, but there is no choice if you want to save your veggies without prior service from your tiller! Uprooting by hand is impossible when it’s dry. The plants break off at the ground, leaving all those roots to produce several tops instead of just one. You’d be just making more work for yourself. After the rain is a good time to pull weeds. Most will ask, “Why get rid of one weed at a time … (1 comments)
