The place next door being vacant and for sale, I've fenced the boundary and am updating the barn so that the "goat pasture" will be a <i>fait accompli</i> when the new people come. Beloved doesn't want to start milking until she retires -- five years off. But there have been bummer lambs raised here in the past -- one or two of those might show up.Doyu Shoninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148504542232844586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28394335.post-72354711986035497682011-05-10T06:42:31.363-07:002011-05-10T06:42:31.363-07:00goats!

The grass clippings and straw more on the veg beds, in layers. 90% of the composting is sheet composting, where the bottom layer of the mulch is the composting layer.Doyu Shoninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148504542232844586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28394335.post-75837142596382952302011-05-06T17:01:02.819-07:002011-05-06T17:01:02.819-07:00Oooo, I love fir/pine needles in compost.

It's held together with baling wire and duct tape these days but it still works!Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
