Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

It's not bad, mind you, especially if you like the sun. For gardening or

farming the lack of rain can be a real challenge though, at least here

in the South. In the North of the country there is a region, the Minho,

that gets so much rain that it looks more like the green green hills of

Ireland.

Wow that's tough!!  I always thought of that country as a kind of paradise.. I guess I was fooled by travel brochures HUH?
 

 But, when it comes to planting according the calendar,

the difficulties are even worse, because when we get two or three days of

rain after 3 or 6 months of drought, I have got to get the seeds into the field

no matter what the moon phases or the constellations are like.
