Even though I had just planted the mizuna that my neighbor gave me, striped flea beetles started eating it. I tried spraying it with a Stochu solution. Insects seem to dislike strong odors. How to make Stochu solution Vinegar : Shochu : Wood vinegar (1:1:1) Mix three bottle-capfuls of the Stochu mixture into 2 liters of water.

I found aphids on my broad bean seedlings. I’ve heard that aphids tend to gather when the soil is too rich in nutrients. To draw off some of the nutrients, I planted arugula and red leaf lettuce next to the broad beans.

In these days, I tried some vegetable preservation. Nukadoko(fermented rice bran bed), pickles, miso, rice koji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae) and syoucyu(alcohol). It was Interesting. All of them are included same procedure. Mixed and ferment. When I bought an pineapple, skin is for compost and core is for alcohol. After drinking alcohol, core is for jam. No garbage. Interesting.

Japanese organic cultivation often uses rice husks and bran. Husks are useful for making soil aggravation structure, and keeping heat and moist on surface of soil. Rice bran is used to ferment vegetable scraps and create compost. It's good smell. It all returns to the earth.

However, Japanese agricultural committee doesn't share fields for new farmers. When someone wants fields, he needs to work for training at other farm or make achievement by himself. It's not easy to look for the fields. View quoted note →

This is temporary. If you have some space in your home, I think it's good cost performance on it. Especially in winter season. House rent fee is 12 times than field rent fee. View quoted note →

Hi, daring.

Sunlight is great.

Considering the available field area, this is not efficient. PET bottles could be replaced with a large tank, or a nutrient solution could be added to address nutrient deficiencies. What do you think about using a nutrient solution? Do you think NPK is safe? View quoted note →

In winter season, plants are very slow to glow up. Seasonal seeds are very less than other season's one. Plants needs temperature and sunlight to grow up fast. I installed self and LED lights in my house. It needs over 1200 lux but today it accomplished over 3200 lux. In my living room, a sealing light is lack now, but the LED became living light instead of it.

To get 1a, I'm making vegetables in my house also. Especially arugula is easy to make because it needn't sunlight. Some arugula basked full of sunlight, and the leaves are reddish strong, has become bitter and looks like devil. On the other hand, shade-grown they are soft and juicy, making them perfect for salads. This can't be made in outdoor field.

Bugs are less than summer season, but I'm concerning the black bugs called mustard beetle which eat young seedling. I'm trying to prevent it by using tunnel and cover since I don't want to use pesticide. However, it can't work perfectly.
