Hi Ken,
Of raised beds, one half of my property is five acres of Muskegon River
Valley, (read swamp). I have been blessed with the top five arable acres
and am working to restore them to a productive state.
But I guess I'm greedy because I keep thinking of the Chiampas and
how I could reclaim some of that rich, black soil in the swamp for
growing. It is out of the question to make raised beds 300 feet
long as the Indians did (I don't have a nation of unlimited manpower
at my beck, just these two hands) but am considering a small clearing
or two and heaping of the muck/soil onto them to
experiment.
An incentive for me to get into it is several veneer grade trees that
might be harvested to help fund the project and gain an easier entrance to the
area.
Was wondering if you (or anyone here) has experience with this sort of
thing?
