3.o 5 to 9 Feb – Time to plant the rice

Kazushige’s rice machine has returned from repair and they started planting the seedlings we had prepared together…

Kazumasa is preparing a rice paddy, secondary tillage (harrowing to break up the soil clods…)

A happy Kazumasa

Then…

Jōdan! (Joke)
Kazushige will explain how this machine automatically plants between 3 to 4 seedlings per wholes, evenly spaced.
Quite a piece of engineering, I’d say!
Looks much more civilised… we love mechanised WWOOFing 😉
The 600*100 trays in which the rice has germinated makes it appropriate for that purpose.
