Hulless Black Barley Carbon Crop PackThis is a lovely dark coloured barley, that grows without a hull, making it a great grain for home gardeners to grow, as the grain just needs threshing once harvested. An excellent crop to grow for carbon. Black barley can be eaten either as sprouted barley cakes, in soup, or as a whole grain like rice. Best planted in Autumn, but early Spring also works. Grown Organically in New Zealand. Enough to grow 30sq m BioIntensively. |
