Our first year garden:
SK-1 tuned up the roto-tiller (KoUnki) yesterday and hit the field first thing this morning. Last spring we layed a 4 inch layer (1 ton) of half-composted cow manure over the garden. Today it was tilled in and the result was a good mix of former rice field soil and SOM (Soil Organic Matter). Next week I will transfer the humus created over the last 6 months in our compost bins. Since we still have the chance of frost for another 3 weeks, we will let this sit for 2 weeks and then test the soil before our first planting.
A little bit of wall maintenance last week stabilized the walkways (Aze Michi) next to the rice field water supply/drain troughs (Aze). Field rocks made the perfect, and free, material. This improved walkway will allow plantings all the way to the propoerty line, mazimixing planting area!
SK-1 was "Caught working"
