Winter Pool

What's happening in the field?

We are in the process of improving the path to run in parallel with the existing right of way. We have already replanted half of it with hard-wearing grass. this will be for foot traffic and mobility vehicles only (for a smoother ride and no ruts!) Sam has drilled the Western half of the field with Wheat and Beans, and the Eastern side with peas and barley. It has now been rolled to preserve moisture This field will also have Winter Bird Feed planted around the edge.

Field Description

Presumably named because it became wet in the winter! We often divide this field into East and West for planting. It’s one of the original Organic 4, and the first field to have pigs on when we arrived in 1992.
