Growing
How to grow at the NICONICO YASAI Farm
Water
We use clean, drinkable water, that is drawn with a pump from 60 metres underground, for sprinkling and cleaning.
Pesticide
We use pesticides and micro-organic materials organised from natural materials: neem, red pepper, garlic, Shochu (Japanese white liquor), wood vinegar, bamboo vinegar etc.
Soil
We use soil that isn’t polluted by chemicals and pesticides.

Nursery
We don’t use genetically modified seeds. We use seedlings that have been grown by our company.
Manure
We use manures composed from natural materials: rice hull; smoked rice hull; peanut lees; straw; plant residue; chicken, pig and cow manure.
Draft
We protect farms with hedges and vinyl walls to avoid pesticides, chemicals and herbicides coming in.
