more intercropping going on as the garlic cohabits with german butterballs ( second photo, one of six curr0rently up ), a host of ollalas ( third photo ) and the wonderfully recoverd russets ( fourth photo )...soon enough there will be new zealand white clover in here as well to set nitrogen...a perennial green manure it will be feeding crops pretty much as long as the bed is in use...not a perfect solution to nutrient loss, but a good step towards closing a nutrient cycle and helping steer us towards a non-chemical sustainability...we will experiment until we find something of a balance.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
