整理伐（せいりばつ）後に出る　山のような枯れ竹を

竹林の肥料にできないものか　

そう考えて　昨年秋に　１年寝かせた枯れ竹の山を

３０センチに寸断して　林の隅の方に撒きました

庭掃除のおっちゃんに　「落ち葉をたっぷり載せてくださいね」

そうお願いして　丸１年．．．　　

　

ドングリ「（樫（かし）の木」が　わんさかと芽を出していました

（おっちゃん　ありがとう！）

落ち葉の中の竹はどうなったかな．．．

うんうん！　思った通り所々黒くなっています

全体が黒くなると　もうあと１年ほどで土に還ります

The Attempt To Return Dead Bamboos To The Soil

There are a pile of dead bamboos after cutting.
"Will they be a good fertilizer?"
I thought that last autumn and scattered the dead bamboos
in the forest after cutting them into small pieces.
Then I asked a man who works there.
"Could you please cover the dead bamboos with a plenty of fallen leaves? "

A year later, I went to the bamboo forest to see their conditions.
Then, many acorns were beginning to sprout when I looked under
the fallen leaves. The bamboos look like to have been weathered a little.
It will take a while before they completely return to the soil.
