Can't believe it's been 7 years since my last efforts. Sowing some old grain from way back then, some will go to flour.

The reeds didn't work as at the first dawn a pheasant was pulling away the reeds
Mar 7th
Although I covered the beds with material, the pheasant(s) pulled a bit of that apart, but worse is that mice crawled under and ate most of the seeds on the second bed. Have sown more today and covered alternatively. Picture to follow :)

Covered

June 15th 2015 A layer of reeds stooped the birds from eating the young seedlings as they did in 2013/14. So after 3 years I may have found a solution.

I seem to have two varieties a bald and a hairy. The bald is a shorter version.

While agricultural output increased as a result of the Green Revolution, the energy input to produce a crop has increased faster,[77] so that the ratio of crops produced to energy input has decreased over time. Green Revolution techniques also heavily rely on agricultural machinery and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and defoliants; which, as of 2014, are derived from crude oil, making agriculture increasingly reliant on crude oil extraction.
