soil looks nice and black. spreaded quite a bit of half composted cow/rabit/pig/chicken manure in summer and worms seem to love it. will take a soil sample now and maybe sow some winter rye or mustard if weather allows ( about 20 �c for few days now)

found a new second patch close to home. swaped a piece of land with other farmer. Corn was harvested about 2 weeks ago. land looks weed free and in good shape. cow manure and liquid manure were spread in March. I will still need to wait till January before I can start working on it.

corn was havested nice and short so not that much of a trouble to get rid of corn leftovers
