I'm wondering what to plant in a section of land we had two pigs in for 6 months. The land used to be grass, but now is mostly mucky clayish soil. I'm hoping to eventually grow some food crops there, but I'm in no particular rush. I think the soil particularly needs biomass. Thinking about buckwheat. Any other suggestions as for possible crops? I have no tractor, and don't want to till too much. I live in Zone 8 in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks!
Bless your Family,

7 top turnip, is that a typo Redhawk?

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!
