I tried the best I could to get some decent pictures. It rained all last night so these were after. We have had a lot of rain lately so the weeds kind of took over, but I mainly follow permaculture practice so I'm not too sad about that. I tried to get pictures that show how much growth there was (everything has died pretty much now, we had a week of rain then a week of upper 80's weather and the plants didn't handle it too well...but it was after we got 30 pumpkins, a bunch of corn, and a bunch of wheat, so i wasn't too sad). I hope these pictures can show somewhat how even a small mound on top of buried branches, leaves, and manure, can produce so much. We have only had the land for a year and I live in the high desert and it was mainly dry sand. Really easy to dig into, but hard to hold water and had zero nutrients. This was mainly a test bed and I will definitely do a few more this year and take some pictures as I go.
Definitely a good winter project.
This kind of shows how much growth there was...
This is from the east where the wheat did really well at the bottom edge
stood up near the cottonwood and tried to get the little corn guy so you could see the height.
