Tuesday: Making compost and Harvesting

Today I got up at 7. Read my bible, struggled to get out of my nice warm futon. Carefully walked down the sttep stairs, charged for the bathroom, that unfortunately does not have a heated toilet. And then Went into the kitchen to have breakfast. I had cereal, coffee, and a bowl of rice... kinda wierd.
At 8:30 we started work. Todd, another worker and I took one truck to go harvest spinach, and some other kinds of lettuces. We have to go back and fortha  few times to drop itoff, bacuase Kamitakesan's wife Okamisan, takes it somewhere, and I'm still notexactly sure where-to sell it I think. Iya went with anther worker to harvest onions. I am still working on getting names down, so I refer to them as workers, but eventually they will have names since most of them work every day here. : )
After this we all went down and moved part of a pile of manure out of the road that had been dumped there to be put in the feilds for fertelizer.
Lunch was at 12:00 and then at 1:30 we headed back out to the chicken coop, manure pile area, and made mulch. The two workers would put rice bran in a machine that stirs it up. They would pour some liquid stuff in it that has mushroom spores or something in it. Tehn we would bag it up so that there was no air in the bag and then put that in a paper bag and then it will be sored for about 4 months until the fungus grows inside. Supposedly it is really good for the soil. We also worked on sifting some piles of coal.
That about sums it up! The two girls from Tiawan left and tomorrow there will be one guy from Tiawan coming and one girl fom America coming. Exciting, exciting!
Now, I am going to go work on organizing my room.
