Bring on the Muck

Bring on the muck.
I had read about mucking out the stalls. And I’d heard about pond muck. But I was reading about mucking the fields and I wasn’t sure what was going on. I believe that it was meant to mean putting almost anything on the soil to help build it’s health. From manure and bedding to urine soaked soil and plants, mucking means to give back.


I’ve decided to apply some “almost compost” over the garden. This stuff is rich, full of worms and pretty moist. This means that each plant will have a ring of deep brown mostly rotted mulch and worms giving off CO2 and raining humus on the new roots when moisture is available.



Cabbages are heavy feeders and will really love this "mucky" mulch.
