i am completely new to no-till gardening and i have a lot of questions. the first is:

do i just drop my pruned leaves and branches straight on to the soil? both mid season and post harvest?
if i am not mistaken i am trying to mimic nature, so everything would just get dropped straight to the ground and act as mulch and food for the next crops. will the plant parts lose their nitrogen before they can be used by the next plant if they are just sat on top?

Today’s harvest and the total amount harvested so far with price per kg and total in the orange cell. This is regular supermarket prices on average for non-organic produce. If I was to compare it to organic, like I should, in most cases, it would represent a much higher total crop value.

I did not separate by type of tomato or pepper, besides padron peppers, that have their own column, so the prices are average between types, for example, green bell pepper (3€) and corno di toro (6€) average 4.5€. Even though i have many more Toro and Crystal peppers than bell pepper plants.

I think i am possibly half-way through my total harvest. Maybe at 60%. So i expect the total amount to almost double the current value in respect to peppers and tomatos. Depending on what september brings.

Does anyone know of a good site that lists properties needing tenant labor?

Okay so I’ve been cleaning out a chimney at work. There is an astonishing amount of ash that the former homeowners left.

I pulled out 60 gallons of it the other day and barely put a dent in the pile.

Slowly working on building a food forest on my property

So I ask, what should I be doing with all this ash?
