In the Garden This week:
I emptied the new chooks' houseand used the bedding mix to build up a new compost heap.
See basics of compost making HERE
In the Edge Bed in the Kitchen Garden the Yarrow,Garlic Chives, Sage and Greek Oregano
were all trimmed.
The Tree Onions and Shallots dug up
and divided for planting elsewhere.
The 2 old Chooks, Blackie and Gingey, have finally accepted each other and now live in the same run! That was after Gingey had decimated the wicking bed in the Almond Area! Just as well I had some backup stock of seedlings for replacements.We said goodbye to Old Luckydog on Saturday. See Here
