Putting some back

Yesterday we started to put the compost of 2010 (Composting post) back into the vineyard. I am quite pleased to see the transformation of the compost since last year. I took samples in this morning, so I will see how it changed chemically since last year. The process to put it down is quite simple - we just use bins and then we will use forks to spread it out a bit.

The straw that we put in the vineyards seem to have a great effect on the soil - especially soil moisture content and soil temperature.

This will be a great experiment with the compost to see what the effect will be. Just some photos of yesterday.
