Real care for the soil makes our produce taste exceptional. Wish I could show you this IRL but hopefully you can see here. Can’t believe how the soil looks and feels right now!!! Makes me very happy 😃
At the lab a year ago this soil measured over 7% organic matter and 4.5% carbon, at approx 20-30cm down.
This is the one position in our rotation where we have two cover crops in a row. At any one time on the farm we have 25% of the farm in cover crop, warm and cool season.
We sowed 12 species via clay balls here. I can see most germinating, but not all. It fascinates me to see one rotting down while simultaneously the other emerges.
Cover crops are sacrificial, preceding the crop we’ll eat, and it’ll contribute to it being of very high quality.
