Two 15 litre buckets of whole daikon radish pickle. Salt brine and held submerged with horseradish leaves.
I really had to w**d the garlic and did not want to waste them !
All the small plants and waste I used to cover the wood chip pathways, it will all rot to help feed the garlic.

So I had a big log fire the other day and I collected a heap of charcoal from it.

Here i am sifting it all, its wet and time consuming but the fine stuff I'll mix with my chicken feed to help pull any toxins from their gut (possibly will help with parasites?)

The medium size stuff I'll put on the vegetable beds and in the compost.
It will help create a home for all the microbes and hold nutrients and moisture.

The big bits I'll have to break down some how and sift out to repeat the process.

The things we do to help nature and to create soil !

Wild peas and radish are starting to smother my garlic, robbing much needed sunlight and nutrients. Carefully cutting it out not to disturb the roots and using it to mulch the potato bed.

The potatoes im growing are royal blue and can be piled up to produce more potatoes, not all varieties will grow like this.
