Tilling The Soil

[smileyt]

Sheep droppings are no good. I forget why but I know they're no good. Even if I was mad enough to creep around a field picking the bloody things up.

What? You mean you aren't mad enough?

Sheep manure is low in nitrogen – compared to other animal manures – so it won’t burn your plants. Plus, it’s a natural slow-release fertiliser and this is part of the versatility of using it as a mulch.

Ok , Wait another year then see how it does. I dont have a lot of pellets from just two hens, and they're on wood chips so they tend to disappear When I clean the coop I will lift that and dump it right in the compost bin though.

We went for the straw/shavings mix, they scrat around in it all day looking for nibbles so it all gets mixed with soil and poop, when we clean out we rake it all up and put the lot in the compost along with some compost maker and a couple of cans of water, same goes for the Guinea pigs sawdust and bedding. The kitchen scraps go in a couple of times a week. This week we got the lawn mowed so in that went as well

Every little helps, and we have a neighbour who we let add their mowings as well
