Growing radishes as a cover crop. It loosens the soil and improves fertility. And they taste good, too!

Awesome Comfrey Diagram: "Comfrey As Fodder & Fertilizer: Reportedly 20 times the protein of soy. Used successfully as pig fodder in amounts up to 80 to 90%! For poultry, it can reduce the need for other feed by 50%. Egg quality improves; yolks brighter. Cows don’t bloat eating comfrey, unlike clover. Doesn't taint milk. Mastitis reduced in cows fed comfrey. Wilted comfrey mixed 1:1.5 with straw fed to sheep increases digestion of straw. Flowers make useful bee fodder. Deep roots make it a valuable nutrient cycler. Used as a green manure and compost activator - its ability to be cut down to the ground a few times a year helps in this respect. (link contains recipe for liquid comfrey fertilizer)"

Gail Odeg Kane, something seems to be up with your site, can't get on to read about permaculture
Kane Jamison Thanks for the heads up Gail - I think the server may have been wonky this afternoon but it seems to be working for me at the moment...
Gail Odeg Got it now, thanks. I want to learn more about permaculture, am going to try the hugelkultur bed. So have been reading on that.
Kane Jamison Hi Gail, I'd highly recommend reading Into to Permaculture by Bill Mollison (NOT the permaculture designer's manual - way to complex), and Gaia's Garden by Toby Hemenway. Also check out the forums at www.permies.com
Gail Odeg Thank you, I will do it. I am excited to give this a go.
Fetching pins…
Gail Odeg Looks interesting, no info on the site about it though.

Gail Odeg Thank you Kane, I will check it out
