I'm experimenting with the suggestions and philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka from his book One Straw Revolution. After harvest, Mr. Fukuoka sowed clover and lightly spread straw over his fields. I decided to try this on the lasagna beds and the Hugelkultur, too. I sowed clover seeds on the beds in October.
In the background are two Hugelkultur beds covered with red clover. I will plant cucumbers and squash in those beds in April.
