RE: PROGRESS ON THE LAND - TEAM WORK WITH THE ANIMALS & A LOT OF MULCH

Yes I think I remember that one when I first got on here. I really need to get some of those. Very good article. I recently started with "Comfrey" and it does much the same. It can have roots 10 to 12 feet deep or more. It is a bio accumulator and mines nutrients from deep in the soil and stores it in its leaves. You can chop and drop the plant up to 3 times a year to feed surrounding plants. Awesome as a fertilizer kick starter also. Creates tons of material for compost. Loaded with tons of good stuff that the old timers loved. It is also called knit bone and was used in cell regeneration and mending broken bones. Spreads well and takes over an area easily by root division so be careful where you plant it. Super good for new areas that need help. Think I need to write an article about it.
