Fortunately, the beautiful days are coming!
Just like last year on the same date, I went to get a hay ball (about 300kg) and I played the steamroller this Saturday.
What a joy to be able to touch hay again.
- Before cover
- After coverage
The farmer offered me a 2-year-old rectangular boot (about the same weight) but I declined for 2 reasons:
1) easier to unroll a round ball;
2) I'm a little afraid that the hay is too compressed in the rectangular bale
But I still think I would try the experiment with a rectangular boot, but in the fall this time.
Before placing the hay, I embarked on the adventure of doing a soil structure test.
Here is how I did it:
1) Take soil from 3-4 places in the vegetable garden
- Take some soil
2) fill a jar halfway with the soil taken (I took 3 jars to be sure)
- Earth in jar
3) fill up to 1cm from the edge with mains water (I don't have reverse osmosis water)
- Fill with water
4) put the lid on and shake for 3-4min
- After stirring
5) Result after 48 hours of rest
- After 48h rest
Conclusion: difficult to find the 3 layers (I only see two, but what?)
And to end the day, I planted a little over 200 onion bulbs
On Sunday, I went for a walk with the family and found a bigger player than all of us put together!

Look at the color of the earth of these molehills near the bog.
I put my hand in one: real couscous!
