投稿の詳細: 蕎麦蒔きの準備　Peparation for buckwheat seeding.

ここ2日ほどイモを植えていた畑の草刈をした。
草がかなり伸びていたので、かなりてこずって
いる。ロータリーを入れても、草が絡み
ついて5メートルごとに絡んだ草を
とる作業になる。

ビーバーで草を細切れにしてからやることに
したら大分はかがいった。それにしても
種まきができるようになるにはあと2回は
ロータリーを入れる必要がありそうだ。

一応8月9日種まき予定です。
参加希望の方連絡下さい。

私は8月6日に、山ノ内町で2ヘクタールほど
蕎麦を作っているグループの種まきに実習
をかねて参加して来ます。今年は、ばら撒き
方式です。

These two days, I tried to mow the buckwheat yard
where we had harvested potatoes recently. As the
weed grew so high, the rotary cannot cultivate
the yard so easily as the weeds got entangled around
the blades. I have to stop every five meters of
mowing.

With an advice, I changed the way and used
disc saw (called bever) to cut the grasses
in shorter pieces. This way, cultivation got
smoother but it needs another two to three
times of cultivation before we plant
buchwheat.

We are planning to have seeding on August 9.
Please let me know if you want to join.

On August 6, I will go to join another
buchwheat seeding held by a group in
Yamanouchi town. This group of people
are much more professional than we and
they make buckwheat in 2ha of buckwheat
yard. In addition, they make their own
soba and sell the noodle and the buchwheat
powder. This year we will adpot their way
of planting seeds, spreading method.

It is very easy way but they need a special
harvester. They have one and we are going
to rent it for harvest.
