This is my overwintered Kumara bed.
Mustard to clean the soil, feed early wakening pollinators and build up ladybird, parasitic wasp, and hoverfly populations.
Wheat for carbon rich mulch and mychorrizal connections.
Both to keep soil covered and keep weeds at bay.
Next step is to sythe the wheat, broadfork the soil, pull out wheat roots, plant tipu and then mulch with wheat tops. Done.
I only prep a bed when it is ready to plant.
