The regenerative organic farming technique is a way of treating a farm as an ecosystem. This is the goal on our little piece of paradise The Wooly Crow Farm.
Woofers welcome!
I had the helpers over today. We built a new permaculture bed using a layer of plain cardboard followed by a layer of manure mixed with hay, then a layer of seawed, then another layer of manure/hay mix for a total of 24' x 4'.
It's a couple of feet thick. We'll let it sit for 6 months and hopefully plant beets and carrots there in the spring!
After many weeks of sitting on eggs our broody hen has finally hatched 3 little ones! The two lighter ones are Icelandic, from hatching eggs I drove to Truro to get, and the dark one is a Barred Rock from one of my own hens!
We also have another little flock of eight keets from the Guinea guy and girl. They like to do their own thing so we leave them a little food and water outside the barn. But at night they go sleep in the field or ditch behind the house.
Where will they all sleep in the winter months?
ReplyDeleteThe keets have found a new home. The rest sleep in the barn!
