New Shed

A new plot of garlic deserves a new shed. 

Here at the back of the property there's a nice expanse which has been filled with the new plot of garlic and its very own personalised shed to hold the forage harvester , do all the cleaning of the garlic and store it for drying.

The forage harvester is the orange machine which can be seen in the 3rd photo. It's basically a huge lawn mower with a trailer to catch the clippings. The clippings are used to mulch the garlic. We generally try to get the grasses from the swamp that runs through the property as it doesn't produce many seeds and fewer weeds grow. The swamp usually dries up in the summer but these last few years have been rather wet therefore we've had lots of weeds.
