Rice-duck cultivation April - May
 |
This is not a result of our laziness. We deliverately grow vetches to fertilize and disinfect the land. |

 |
Ducks have just arrived. They like bathing, which makes a good practice to stir water and move well in the paddy. |
|
|
 |
They grow up eating weeds or unwanted insects such as snails. |

 |
We sow rice in flats and leave them in a coldframe to sprout. When rice plants grow big enough (four inches), we transplant them to the paddy. |

 |
We plant in low density, as few as one third of plants compared to ordinary rice farmers. This helps to make a lot of air passes through the plants, to make the plants get plenty of sun, and to make the plants become resistant to insects or disease. |
