There's a lot of that ol' hand pulling to do...again. Grass mulch has worked great where it's been applied, but that's not much, just tomtoes (in-row, not the paths) and garlic. That's tiny farming in this field, for now... ;) Andrea: Yeah, in full force, running WILD. There’s a lot of that ol’ hand pulling to do…again.

Was all our pulling in vain last year?!... looks like the devilish weed is back in full force. Just so you can feel better about this weed, however, I just spoke to a tiny farmer from Grand Forks, Okanagan a few weeks ago that has verification from plant biologists that a higher number of grusome, hellish weeds are prolific where he lives than have been identified anywhere else in the world. Listening to him describe in detail how difficult it was to pull out the roving vines made pulling cute pigweed seem heavenly!

Keeping up with your pigweed exploits, I've been thinking that you may want to consider keeping rabbits or livestock that really likes pigweed. I assume your pigweed is the amaranth variety in which case bunnies like it and it is high protein. Just thought ... and great manure! Keep up the great work! todd Really enjoy reading about the tiny farm.
