Hacken

This picture is cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.

It is almost 3 weeks after transplanting.

when the are such as big, we should do "hacken". I don't know english word.

This activity is what removing weeds.

Weeds are usually still small when plants are like this picture .

Then also moving soil. and also make soil to be finer.

Because, we can cut weed's roots. and cut small weeds.

So we don't need to remove weeds again.

Because next time Plant's leaves are already cover soil.

So Weeds are not so fast to grow.But it's not only this effects.

Also, soil can keep moist. Because capillary tube of soil are destroyed.

So moist stay in soil.
