In Japan, some farmers raised ducks, fish, and azolla ferns together in one rice paddy. The ducks ate weeds and pests and stirred the water and soil, helping more oxygen reach the rice roots. The fish and ducks added nutrients through their waste, and the azolla fern spread across the surface and fixed nitrogen. This smart team-up was known as the Aigamo Method.

おっはようございます。お昼ですな。

さてさて昨日は@masachiさまと行くオススメの麻婆を食す辛いもん会（仮称）でございました。

んでいつもの如く朝も早よからプチ撮影会。ヒコーキ見たりおっきい木見たりお花で春を感じたり藻でもしゃっとなったり水盆をスイボーンしたり（もう適当）‥ラストきょうも佳きねこさまに出逢えたりと楽しい撮影会でございました。

Some pics from a few nights ago. It always surprises me how different their behavior is from day to night. Nighttime is for zoomies!

We're experimenting with growing azolla cristata now to supplement the animals' feed (and probably our own). It was getting sun damage there at first, hence the shade cloth stretched over it in the last pic. If not for that it might've been much more prolific. Here's the progress so far. We're optimistic about it.
