My kitchen garden of the least effort

[Did67]

the creeping thyme is a sub-shrub, so there is ligneous

but what did it give?

That was a dozen years ago, in the pleasure part. He, to my surprise, held up well. And fairly well covered the ground, even if little by little more invasive plants have become established. Today, it's wasteland in front of the house ... Finally a sort of ... A pleasure garden "more than lazy" ...

I am going to do archeology to see if there is any left and to set up a "corner" in the vegetable garden.

What I remember is that the bulbous (tulips, hyacinths) pierced and grew over! An idea for onions / shallots ????

[Did67]

Without certainty that this is valid for anything other than cereals

These are the "TCS" techniques that I mention in my book ... Inspired, in part, by Manfred Wenz.

Wheat sows in the fall. The radish, at the end of life (it blooms), will be quickly ratiboisé.

Ok it has arisen in large quantities this year ... in the pleasure part (see photo)

But I do not know if it's rainy spring (which seems curious for thyme) or just a field delivered to itself and more shorn since 2016 ...

However the fight with the potentilla is fierce.

I was a little scared in the middle of the summer because after the bloom it dries up as if it were to die ...

But since early September (though without rain) it seems to revive ...

Good after I have nothing against the cinquefoil but I prefer thyme.

In addition it goes well winter seems it, ditto for the drought so it's all good ...

On the other hand what I do not control well is its speed of propagation because here it is "out all alone": one did not buy it

The continuation of the adventure over the months

And according to you, is it radish when?

I let turn at the end of the video on the semi in the radishes, the next one that went to reading is even more bluffing
I love the example with the passage of the parcel plowed, the guy sinks into a mud the thickness of the plow and not much that grows and live he goes to the plot next to no tillage and there it is green and it does not sink

leave in auto reading you will see that your the look

This is certainly radish forage: https://www.arvalis-infos.fr/les-princi ... ticle.html

Most likely sown during the summer, after harvest of the previous crop: http://www.supagro.fr/ress-pepites/Plan ... _four.html

Ok I saw that among the fodder actually ....

[Moindreffor]

today big job in the kitchen garden, I decompact the small layer of hay that remained to see the thickness that actually remained in anticipation of the transplanting of my white onions
So, as it is sunny today and we are announcing rain for this afternoon, even tonight and tomorrow, it will settle again around my bunions
this year I managed my semi, I took it earlier than last year, I think next year I will double the amount sown

by the way, small onion seedlings placed just on the ground and covered with a very thick layer of hay had not risen, too dry after planting, now that it has rained well and that the layer has reduced , it rises, like what you should not despair, and I see that all counts there are more than I thought, it almost marks the road

I remember that hay laid too late, and too thick layer, absorbs all the water and it no longer arrives on the ground, so the hay does not degrade in contact with the ground that remains dry, it you need a good layer, but neither too much nor too little

[to be chafoin]

Yes, I'm wondering what to do with this residue of hay, could we keep it dry for the next year, and thus make it easier for rainwater to reach the ground?

there is very little left, I even think that there is only just to avoid the growth of weeds, so I will transplant my onions, and you add hay or dry mowing for weeds

on the rest of the garden I will put a layer of manure and at the top I will put the hay in February, it has recharged well in MO this year, but my fridge is very far from being full, it's a little fridge of camping there, for all gourmet vegetables I would need an American fridge, that's what I'm trying to stretch with my intake of manure

proof that the supply of water to feed its soil is important, after the few storms, my foot of pumpkin took advantage of the degradation of the hay and inputs of nitrogen (urine) to develop again, suddenly a second pumpkin twice as big as the beginning of the season

So hay without water = no degradation = no life = vegetables that do not grow
