Growing Barnyard Grass

Barnyard grass is well-suited for low and wet lands. The earth [should be] plowed in the second ten days of the second (lunar) month and well-prepared with a mokchak (known as soheulla). It is possible to sow any time from the first ten days of the third month to the first ten days of the fourth month. The sowing method is the same as that of proso and foxtail millet. Alternatively, scattering the seeds is also fine. If the fields are barren, use bunhoe (aged manure and urinated ash. The same [can be said] for the following [sections / grains]). Alternatively, first, spread weeds between the ridges. Then plow and sow the seeds, hoeing twice. Barnyard grass also has a late-ripening variety that matures early (known as gangjik).

Notes

• Growing versus Cultivating ?
• 稷性宜下濕之地, 직성의하답습지지
  • Versus previous section: 黍粟性宜高燥 High and dry areas are appropriate for the nature of millet. Shouldn't we have consistency?
  • The nature of glutinous millet is appropriate for low and wet lands --> Glutinous millet is well-suited for low and wet lands.
    • 宜 Not "Appropriate" but well-suited.
    • 稷性宜 "The nature of" seems redundant, well-suited captures the meaning
  • Seems to be an emphasis on 地
    • So... "Glutinous millet is well-suited for low and wet lands. OR "Low and wet lands are suitable for glutinous millet."
• 熟 숙 "well-prepared"
• 皆可 개가 It is possible to sow --> it is appropriate, is is okay, it is alright, it is fine, etc.
  • 皆 implies multiple, 可 implies properness
• 或 혹 Or --> Alternatively / Which is the correct nuance?
  • A or B (both even value)
  • Do A, (if not possible) B is also alright
  • We should decide on a consistent transation for 或 in English
• 兩麥底六月上旬可種
• scattering the seeds is also fine
  • 得 득 is "fine" the best translation??
• 下倣此. 아래도 이와 같다. --> "It is the same as below"
  • English is incorrect/opposite. It means 아래에 있는 내용과 같다. Not 아래도 이와 같다.
  • --> Change to: The same [can be said] for the following [sections / grains]
• 先布雜草於畝間 後耕種, 鋤至二度 / after first spreading weeds between the furrows, plow and sow the seeds, hoeing twice.
  • Should not emphasize "after," but change to then
    • after first spreading weeds between the furrows, plow and sow the seeds --> First spread weeds between the furrows, then plow and sow the seeds
  • 耕種 경종 plow and sow the seeds / Why plow AND sow - should it just be one for 耕?
  • 後耕種, 鋤至二度 후 경종 서지(질)이도(탁,택) then plow and sow the seeds, hoeing twice. / Order of events? simultaneous?
    • ... then plow and sow the seeds. Hoe twice.
  • 布雜草於畝間 보(포)잡초어(오)묘간 --> First, spread weeds between the furrows
  • Why would you spread weeds?
  • Wasn't furrow incorrect? --> Should be ridge
• ○稷亦有晩種早熟者【鄕名 姜稷】 --> No original variety name??
  • late-ripening variety but matures early?? Isn't it an oxymoron?
• 兩麥底六月上旬可種 Why is this line about barley here?
