My wife Karen and I love greens, and we’ve been enjoying the kale and collards from this year’s garden for the past several weeks. The best looking greens in the garden are definitely in our field trial beds where we’re testing rock dust and biochar against a control.
Now that the kale and collards are in their prime, I thought it would be a good time to do a taste test to see if we can taste a difference between the rock dust greens and the control group greens. We’ll also include the biochar greens in the test.
