Welcome on our “Living on a farm in Slovakia – Blog”. In May 2008 we have bought a smallholding in Slovakia without ever having seen it and we have moved to our farm in September 2008. Since then we have started to get acquainted with our neighbours, learn the Slovak language, renovate the house, regain our land from nature and we have actually started to farm on our land in spring 2009. On this blog you can follow our progress and setbacks. Have fun reading it!

Growing Christmas trees or weed management..
Managing weeds is one of the main issues when growing Christmas trees. Our Nordman trees especially need attention in this field since they are slow growers and weeds aren't. Last season weed management was a failure. Too much other things needed our attention. With snow slowly disappearing our trees are slowly reappearing. No signs of frost damage or or having suffered from being slightly overgrown. However next year weeds will be kept under control with Arnold's weed terminator mowing machine.
