Growing good veggies requires good dirt. Growing good dirt requires good compost. Growing good compost requires good inputs~
Steps 1 and 2, backyard chickens not required!
1. Put all eggshells in compost
2. Keep all chicken bones (after making bone broth😀), bake in oven or hot coals of a fire, grind up, put in compost
Steps 3-5, backyard chickens are required (or just borrow the neighbor’s!)
3. Put chicken poo in compost
4. Put all bedding, nesting and floor/ground covering materials, naturally enriched with poo, dander and feathers, in compost
5. Learn to let ’em do their stuff, right in the garden! Chickens love to scratch, peck, eat weeds and seeds and bugs and small critters, and of course can’t help but poop!
Can you think of more ways to transform a chicken into a veggie???
My, you are a busy lass! Must get it from me! Not the permaculture…I don’t know anything about that! I’m talkin’ bout the down home writin’ style! Oh, and I do love the way you think, too! You get that from me as well! Smile!
Thanks Mumma! Yes, I got lots of good stuff from you, lol 🙂
