Fall Crops
I am finishing up with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Soon, I will plant cereal rye (what is used for bread flour in northern Europe), potatoes, and some extra spinach and collards from last year. The cereal rye will be a cover crop to compare the impact of cover crops alongside or in lieu of algae. Cover crops are used to prevent soil erosion and bolster soil health. I am also doing some side experiments with bananas and grapes with regards to shelf life and Brix measurements. Brix is a measure of sugar content (and hence flavor and nutrients) based on how light bends or refracts in a sample of fruit or vegetable.
