DIGGING PAY DIRT

Today we hit pay dirt. Our compost pit was uncovered after two seasons and it is like waiting for a birth. And happy to report it is a healthy baby. No infestations and the leaves and twigs have decomposed very well, much beyond our expectations. First time we have done this so the excitement is even more! In the picture, you see the well-developed compost that has just been dug out in the foreground. The leaves and twigs in the background will replace in the pit and will be for our future use.


With this perfect compost we start treating the field from tomorrow so we will ready to plant our autumn and winter crops once the main monsoon is over.
