今日はともこさんとオーガニック栽培に欠かせない重要な’土’についての授業を地元の高校生に交じって受けました。先生はオーガニックアップルファームを営むグレッグ。土のサンプルを大胆に机の上にどさっとバケツをひっくり返し、生徒に手触りを感じさせます。生徒もすぐに土を触りに来て、よく肥えた土、そうでない土の違いを確かめ、よい土を作るための説明をしっかり聞いてきました!化学に頼らず、自然を自然に育てるオーガニック栽培のカギ。奥が深そうです。生徒達も興味心身。
Tomoko and I joined a lesson at a local high school. We learned about 'Organic soil'. The teacher Greg runs an Organic Apple farm. He dumped examples of good and bad soil on the desk and we touched the soil to see the difference. Organic doesn't rely on chemicals. It has the miracle of life!!
In fact, Nature knows nature, we need to know nature a bit more that is the key to working WITH nature!

We started making 'The Little Country School Garden!' When we were tilling, we found a lot of Earth worms, the color of the soil was dark and the texture was light!

We plant Ground cherries, and other vegetable including Japanese vegetable. After our planting, rain started! How lucky we are! Plants are also happy for sure!!!!
Come join our farming!!
