Each year I generally collect soil samples for testing. Knowing the nutrients in the soil I can make informed decisions on the optimum compost, fertilizer, and other soil amendments. After testing the same field for a few years, I can look for trends and adjust my strategies to suit. With a soil sampling probe, the sample collection goes quickly.

Broken wrist: doubly painful.
April 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Farm Planning, Farm Work
I fell and broke my wrist a week ago last Monday. I figure this is a fairly good explanation for the lack of recent entries here. I have several ideas for entries, but I’m not up to doing much typing yet. Turns out there are a number of things I have trouble doing one-handed. I had to hire in an extra worker to help at the farm yesterday, so it turn out the broken wrist is also painful in the wallet.
