>>1281290Excuse the autism, I don’t post here often: a couple years of gardening turned me into both a Nazi and a ultra-orthodox Catholic.
Just directed sowed some Okra yesterday. I’m trying a method that I like to philosophically call “the bread loaf method”.
Basically, after tilling and measuring each spot, I knead the soil well as if I’m making bread. Then, I form the dirt loaf, planting a seed inside each loaf that is positioned in its own moat, barely underneath the ground. I then season the seeded dirt loaf with powdered red potters clay and charcoal, moistening it all the while the sun bakes the loaf.
The objective is for the seed to feed on this enriched dirt loaf for nutrients, yielding a harvest which will become loaf of its own: food.
In other words, from loaf you come, to loaf you will return. I tried this with sorghum and it worked very well, making sorghum my favorite crop
