To create good soil in a farm,
organic matter that serves as food for worms, microorganisms, and other creatures is necessary.
Currently, I am growing vegetables for myself in a small farm.
To improve the soil in my farm, I use the fallen leaves from this forest to create leaf compost, which I add to the garden.
Using a rake, I gather the fallen leaves, and then mix them with water, soil, and rice bran.
Afterward, I cover the mixture with a sheet to promote decomposition.
While it takes effort to create leaf compost,
I have noticed that my farm has been doing well since I began adding it every year.
This connection between forest maintenance and farming creates a link between the forest, people, and food.
Because of this, I want to continue making leaf compost. 🙂
