[Syrupmakers] Mulch in sugar cane crop

[Stacey Freeman]

I haven't burned off or plowed our cane in probably 10 years now.  The soil has built a very nice, rich top soil and I use very little fertilizer.  I do not water it much either, if any.  There is some grass and weeds, but the cane will usually shade it down nicely.  Since I started tending the cane this way, year by year, we have made excellent syrup which is what we're after.
