our Chickens, Our Garden

Cleaning out the hen house

Really should have been done in November.

The deep bedding system builds a thick pack of hay, shredded paper and poop over the year. This ultimately goes into the garden or the orchard or the compost pile.

Frosty but clear.

Listening to “Bible in a year” and moving wheelbarrows.

Our flocks and herds, scratching the frozen ground.

Cleaned out, fresh bedding spread.

A line of fresh mulch in the garden. Hopefully it has broken and leached down a bit by the time we plant in May.
