Weighing seeds
Recently people have been coming to us to get seeds (a very good sign). The new farm manager, Robert has decided to make a charge, to people who can afford it.
We bought two new scales including the electronic one for small seeds.
The picture shows Acacia, velvet bean and sun hemp seeds, all of which we use as green manures, to fix nitrogen
The bags are being recycled
Report and Plan from Robert, the farms manager who at 22, and newly promoted is doing a fine job:
