Spring has arrived in Southern Sweden, and I have started this years growing by drilling holes and filling them with the organic kitchen waste, that I have kept in plastic bags during the winter. I drill a couple of holes every day. Since the plastic bags have been kept well closed, no nutrience has disappeared into the air meanwhile. You can read more about how I �drill down� organic material into the soil, at last years (2003) growing diary. In Sweden we call it �jordisering�, which would be best translated as �soilization� or nutrient pillar. These nutrient pillars are also water-keeping and give away the nutrience during a long time. Soon I will start building a new pumpkin-greenhous, so I can start warming up the soil.
