More of the same today, with Tim continuing to work on the shower setup, and me putting energy towards the food forest. Susan started her work trade and pulled nahiku out of the bamboo support plantings, with lorinda and fed them to the chickens, and planted some flowers in their places I think... In the afternoon, Susan came and helped me gather in some mulch, since it had been sunny enough to run the van over the breach... When it started to drizzle we decided to go to town for more newspaper and cardboard. GOt back in time to just do a little bit of sheet mulching. By then Brooke had come back from her town errand so the 3 of us worked for a bit on getting the mulching done. It is really hard to sheet mulch on that kind of slope. The logistics of it are a bit ridiculous. Still, S & B got the idea quickly and did a nice job.
I also did some experimenting with the cow cane in the gulch under that big mango. I ran it through Greg's chipper. If it kills it, we are onto a really good mulch source there. Of course, it could just sprout from every little piece! Will leave it sit in a pile for a month or so before we decide to do anything else with it.
