And the corn goes in!!

    

Planning for it has been an annual dance for years. This is our Kaanga Maa patch -our staple corn which we have had for over 10 years now. Porridge, tortilla, pozole....

Our cover crop has been scythed (roots left in the ground), any buttercup removed, mulched, a legume rich cover crop sown, and our soaked corn planted.

Was super impressed with the cover crop. It has been flowering since April and the amount of biomass was amazing. It was mostly eye level and so diverse. Look at the size of our lupin trunks - and the root nodules where impressive too. Oh and I forgot the amount of worms and the fantail that worked with us all morning.

Thanks to our amazing WOOFERS we got this job done in a morning!!
