Measuring Mountain Fertility
Local organic matter and water capacity figures remain unmeasured against the state averages. Oregon’s average organic matter of 29.41% reflects the state's potential, though mountain soils may vary wildly. Adding local mulch can help boost your soil's natural productivity.

Resilient Mountain Growing
The 6b hardiness zone requires plants that can withstand cold winters and late spring frosts. Hardier vegetables like kale, peas, and potatoes are excellent choices for this climate. Start your garden by choosing varieties bred for shorter, cooler seasons.
