Our neighborhood has several orchards in it: a kaki persimmon orchard and
a few apple orchards. There is also nuka ash sitting in a lot next to the
road I often walk my Akita Taiko on, being washed by the rain. Farmers often
put this ash back in the rice fields.
If I had a little more Japanese, I could ask the farmers for their
plum trimmings and nuka ash. I don't have the free time now, but when I do,
I'll get a friend to help me talk to the farmers.
