Rick, you are doing ground breaking work and I love to see what you have designed. Keep up the good work!

OK what the heck is Jicama? LOL. I just googled it and I'm amazed I've never heard of it either. Are there any other South American tubers out there? So now we have 'ground apples' and 'yam beans'; both sweetened by inulin. I'm going to look for starts or seeds now. I wonder if both are nitrogen fixers to boot. Speaking of SA plants have you tried any Quinoa or Amaranth? Seems like they would compliment the wild rice harvest. Take care.

I've cut the scapes off before they go to seed and eat them. I've also allow the seeds to form, but harvested them just before they hardened off.

@RickLarsonPermacultureDesigner8 жыл бұрын
Chop the branches full of leaves off the trees when the pasture is spent, and the cows will eat them. The cows will also use them for shade, so they won't suffer in the heat of the day, which will fatten them up. If you fence the trees off for a time, the grass beneath them will grow lush. And if your cows are eating the bark, that is an indication your pasture is deficient in minerals. Locusts are drought-proof feed for your cows, you are lucky to have some persistent ones.
