RO*Food Market Gardening System

The RO*Food Market Garden System (MGS) is based on the Intensive Rapid-Cycle (No-Dig) Method of growing vegetables using super plugs to speed up the cycling of crops in market gardens and small farms. Most successful market gardeners use no-dig (no-till) methods or they are transitioning to a no-dig (no-till) methods to grow their crops.

Many Market Gardens using the RO*Food MGS start off by using the principles of French Intensive Gardening or the Minimum Dig Broadfork Method to till the soil. However, most growers transition to the No-Dig version of the Intensive Rapid-Cycle Method when their soil has enough organic matter & optimal soil life.
