Question regarding starting a small row crop operation.
Took a plunge and bought a tractor (1948 8N) the other day. The deal was great. No implements yet other than a mower.
I’m interested in beginning a row crop operation, intention is organic and I would love to explore no-till options, but kind of floundering with where to start and what equipment I’ll need. Going to be small, maybe a half acre to start.
Anybody have any recommendations or advice? I was eyeing a good deal
On an old cultivator and seed drill but I don’t want to start tearing up turf until I have a reasonable plan for weed control that doesn’t involve spraying.
First time making biochar!
10 liter bucket filled with about 3,5kg of char, mixed in four or five big handfuls of donkey manure, about the same amount of finished compost, topped off with grey-water …and I peed on it. Twice.
Now we let it rest for a while, stir it every few hours and continue to pee on it obviously.
Let’s hope our raised garden beds will love some added biochar to hold onto our precious water and feed them all the micronutrients they’ll ever need
