I've been slack on the blog, but I've been kickin' out the jams on the land... Well, anyway, we got the little red mulch truck running today. Working for Joan I scored a dozen Williams bananas (dwarf variety with A1 bunches) and planted them in the future coffee/noni/banana/vanilla/pepper polyculture. Brooke and Susan have done marvellously sheet mulching the entire area of Takak0's food forest. They finished up today. They've also been making peanut cuttings and doing other garden stuff, and helping us out a lot with all the grinding domestic chores. Champion wwoofers they are.
Used the PhD with tractor to put in a bunch of gliricidia truncheons the other day, and it worked beautifully. We just need to figure out how to get the mower working to expectations and we'll be laughing.
