Living Mulch System 2003.

There are crops that enrich your soil and some that deplete.
Its raining right now in Nipomo. Some sunflowers and fava/bell beans are sprouting from last years crop.  As the weather warms other seeds will sprout. Grass is the first to come up. This morning I pulled many grass sprouts before they went to seed. I cover much of my garden with straw or mulch so I will always have grass sprouts to pull.  I catch them before they seed. Easy to pull from the soft earth mulched with straw or other matter.
The link below explains green mulch used in farming.
Living Mulch System 2003.
In my farmette, green mulch is gathered in the winter and piled to make compost, usually not far from where it grew. We have lovely piles of compost rotting away where it is needed instead of carting it back and forth to a central source.  Mini piles saves time and effort.

Keep Your Home California

Assistance program for those who qualify
Keep Your Home California

BUY NOW ...... REAL ESTATE EQUITY AND RAINBOWS

Real Estate and rainbows have something in common..... that illusionary pot of gold in the end. For the last seven years we have had a very rainy period in Real Estate, now I am seeing a little sunshine on the horizon and possible rainbows and that pot of gold..... equity. Now is the time to buy, the market is turning, more competition in the bidding is stabilizing prices.
Banks are holding back inventory which also brings more value to the properties on the market. We may have passed the end of the down turn. Some investors are overbidding the listing price. We go in cycles and the down turn is over. Buy now, sit back and build that equity pot of gold.

Happy Saint Pats
