And Yet More Poo
16Wednesday 23 April, 2014 by Uncle Spike
And for my next bit of entertainment, I thought a double trailer load of goat poo could be fun! Yep, that lot should keep me (or the rather the veggies) going for another couple of years.
.
Took me a full day to shift 60 barrow loads of it into one of the big poo depots (the other is full of the cow version of same origin) and even filled a full cubic metre compost store.
.
A couple of the veg areas (one fallow and the other that had Broad Beans) have recently been cleared and dug over twice in preparation for the new season’s planting. Now with a few barrowloads of goat poo 🙂
.
And some for another area that is next for clearing…
.
And finally, a few tubs filled ready for when the peas are finished in the greenhouse.

You mean someone thinking about moving that pile of poo, but then putting it off and taking photos instead? I do it all the time in the garden.

Only for a minute… all cleared and done now.

I wish I could buy something natural for the garden instead of all these bags of compost. We used to have a mushroom farm which sold wonderful compost, but unfortunately it closed down. I make a lot of leaf compost, but it takes forever.

I have 3 large compost bins I made. They are simple brick built one metre cubes, but the bricks we have here are like a hollow lattice, so plenty of air gets in. I shove all sorts of crap in there, topped off with some of that black close netting they use for sun screens or to stop weeds growing. I get about 15 wheelbarrow loads every year from that too.

I do compost garden stuff, but not kitchen waste; though I do have a special bin for that if it ever gets put up! I really hate the idea of encouraging rats.

Between a rough n tough farm dog, the chickens, plus all the hedgehogs, lizards and tortoises, I’ve never seen any kitchen waste last more than an hour after chucking it out the door 🙂
