The plane, the plane...

With apologies to you Fantasy Island addicts...a plan has now emerged from the injured gardener...

Patience...will be required.

Last years plots will receive the following treatment(s):
  • Green manure plots (2) will be allowed to grow until the clover looks like it is taking off - the rye has started to thrive already. When this happens they will be turned over and planted with a mixture meant to produce a crop and build OM...just what is not clear yet.
  • The intercropped plots (4) will be left until their N-fixer covers (planted late) start to thrive, then they will be covered in "belly rub" vermicompost, and then turned over. They will be planted in primarily three sister intercrops...

Potato seed has been "planted" in sod sandwiches - to be planted as space becomes available in the new double dug plots. The outside arc along the fence will be planted to combinations of carrots, onions, & super sugar snaps. More later...
