27/04/26: Our freshly ploughed field in the foreground where potatoes have been set. The rows turned out particularly straight this year. The soil was nice and crumbly (we had sown winter rye beforehand) and easy to plow.
The tilled soil sits alongside a bright green meadow. Mixed woodland of conifers and deciduous trees with fresh spring foliage lines the slopes.
This year, we were able to plow the loose soil even without the fore-cutter, which was no longer attached to the plow. It probably got lost in the field earlier. We couldn't find it. Maybe it'll turn up next year.
On ca. 10 rows we set potatos. The rest (ca. 1/2 of this field) is for various vegetables, field beans and oats.
The manure was very crumbly this year, so the nitrogen content wasn't as high anymore. We'll see if it's enough for the heavy feeders.
