Hay Ho, Let's Go: The Final Harvest
Hay season/field restoration 2010 is drawing to a close! The results from Year One of restoration efforts are in: All of the fields responded well to treatments of calcium lime, sulfate of potash, and bone char. These essential minerals are helping to correct soil deficiencies, detected in soil samples taken last Fall. This summer, two cuttings of feed hay were taken off most areas…
An empty hay barn means happy farmers & shepherds in NH & Maine…
A re-built portion of the field wall. Learned the meaning of “granite kiss” (2 stones, 1 finger, major contact)…
The Very Last Doleful Bale-fuls…
I will miss the smell of freshly cut hay drying in the barn, but am excited to report that the fields are healthy and productive!
