RE: Improving Soil with Cover Crops

in #gardening6 years ago

Our soil was so poor and full of rocks and sand I had little hope of growing anything successfully. Our first crop was peanuts and the took off like wildfire! Surprised me all to heck. But gradually over the last 7 years, we have managed to build the soil to where we can actually grow food! I am so pleased with the results, since homesteading in the tropics is so different than in the north.

Thanks, @mountainjewel. It took a lot of work but I am proud of what we able to accomplish.
