      Volvo and Letsdig18 does seem like a good relationship match at several levels. The bucket or attachment maker also was a good match. I found letsdig18 because I was searching for a demonstration of human skills, but I got hooked on the totality of the channel. The author's point of view is valuable to me.

    Alfalfa is a good soil buster. It will send roots down 3 feet in dry weather. And it is a legume. Has nitrogen nodules in the roots stored. Hay it 2 years and plow it under. Red clover is the same way. Helps build top soil.

      In CA and AZ a bit of Alfalfa is grown, mostly for local markets, I imagine. Water is in short supply and a large component of the cost of the Alfalfa product. Public discourse in water management is overwhelmed by "story" eliminating the seeking of data.

    • @Bill_N_ATX
      @Bill_N_ATX 3 місяці тому +7

      That’s a great start, but remember that good compost needs both carbon and nitrogen components. Tree chips etc (called the browns) are full of carbon. Grass clippings, vegetable scraps etc, (called the greens) are full of nitrogen. You need both plus water, oxygen, and time to make good compost.
      But you probably knew that…but for other would be composters, that’s the basics.

    • @pbuhler1
      @pbuhler1 3 місяці тому +1

      @@Bill_N_ATX good info. I get wood chips free too. I have equipment so I can turn the piles regularly, spreader them out in thin layers over dirt, then re-pile them after they’ve gotten saturated and broken down some more. I add pond dredgings and manure to the mix, let sit, turn occasionally, and in a couple of years I have great compost ready for the gardens or lawn .
