Organic Fertilization Program
Here at Bamboo Gardens of Louisiana, we are committed to giving back to the Earth that sustains us. In this spirit, we are a fully organic farm, utilizing no poisonous herbicides or pesticides and using only organic fertilizer on the premises.
Following a very successful two year trial project, our full scale organic fertilization program is well underway.
Our flocks have been rotating throughout our groves for almost two years with fantastic results!
