That’s what I said, then I started reading and whammo, this sounds interesting.  I’ve heard of the layering of sawdust and wood chips as a mulch, breaks down , feeds the soil, you know the drill, but this is burying whole logs and large branches. This goes against everything I have ever heard about composting, small even pieces… what happened to that?

I am intrigued my friends, I’m going to read some more on this and I will get back to you, I mean really, all I have to do right now is read, the fall garden is pretty well a no-go unless some serious rain comes soon, so I guess we shall see, but i’m not going to get my hopes up!

Anyway, check these links out, they have some basic info, when I find more I will let you know, and sorry for the dry spell …lol!

We have not seen any real rain in I don’t know how many months, A check of the NOAA web site says were are in exceptional drought territory and not looking good for precip until possibly next year sometime!  Whats a farmer to do?

Well this one is gonna hunker down and wait for it! , It will rain again I have no doubt, Its just when and how much patience do you have?  I have alot!

Just a Visual reminder .

This is circa 2007 , nice and green

Same pasture maybe 2008

Now fast forward to 2011 and take a look at the same pasture, brown , dry and brittle.  I’m afraid that the cows just walking across it will cause a spark and set the whole county ablaze!!

Look at this moon scape!

Same pasture, different angle! Not any better.

So there you have it, that’s why we are waiting for the rains to come back for a fall garden!
