Today I also spent a little while cleaning up the artichoke bed. Observations I made during this process are that nature likes to decay old vegetation by making it slimy and waterlogged. How is the soil prevented from becoming anaerobic? is it because the stalks are still standing in place as they begin to decompose? This sure does provide an excellent habitat for slugs, of which I harvested and fed to the chickens. They LOVED it!

cleaning up the old stalks, I mulched the ground with them. This will
either work really well, or be a colossal mess... We'll see! |
