Pure worm castings to feed your garden.

Observation is a key component in not just permaculture but also the scientific method. Last year I created a wonderful science project and didn't even know it. Yesterday I observed the results.

Lets see what we have with the wonderful plant, Jerusalem Artichokes:

- massive 3d photosynthesis machine. 12 foot tall plant, giant leaves, much organic matter to use as a chop and drop sacrificial member in a guild.

- incredibly dense root system, almost like vetiver grass. This root system, when the plant is sacrificed, will turn into soil food.

- massive tubers that are normally harvested by the human. Massive soil disturbance to harvest, similar to potatoes, but much larger disturbance due to the size of the root system.

- if left in the ground, today's observation shows what will happen underground, right in situ.

Have you ever purchased or made worm castings? What if you could make worm castings, not in a bathtub, but automatically amended to the soils, in a zero disturbance method?

I propose that Jerusalem Artichokes are not only an incredibly abundant food crop, but that even if you do not eat them, ever, that they are an incredible soil building component, both as a chop and drop sacrificial, but also as a soil buster, and worm machine.
