Green manure; do you know what it is?  If so, then this entry will be too simplistic for you.  But if you’re a novice like me and have no clue about green manure then this post might help explain it.

I’ve been interested in bringing our hay fields back into production.  They’ve been dormant for years and silly me, I thought we could just get out there and start cutting again and all would be well. 

“You can’t just start cutting hay on those fields.” the always knowledgeable Mountain Man said.  “There’s work to be done to them and they also need fertilizing.”

“Not a problem.” I reply.  “I’ll just take my band of horses and we’ll tromp through the fields leaving fertilizer as we walk.”
