Over the last 10 days I’ve been cleaning the brassica seed we harvested in June from overwintered plants. This is to clear some space for spring planted brassica seed crops that are ready for harvest.
I’ve already written about our brassica seed cleaning techniques. However this year I used some different threshing methods:
Your choice of music is not important for the success of this method, as long as it’s loud.
I always wear gloves when handling dry seed crops. It is very easy to get splinters. Whether working by foot or by hand I’ve also started wearing a dust mask when cleaning dry seed crops.
The chaff pile also has a video on alternative brassica seed cleaning methods.
If you want to know more about the harvesting part of this operation, you can read my 2010 brassica seed harvesting post.
Now, if the thunder storms hold off, we’ll get into some serious garlic harvesting.
