Eggs and muck

10 - 12 Dec 2017

The chickens hadn't been laying for quite a few days.  I'd had to buy eggs.  We weren't sure if it was the weather or the feed or a protest.  Then I caught a glimpse of an egg deep in the straw of the chicken house, away from the nesting box.  When I went round to check, I found a large stack of eggs.  So that mystery was solved.


     We recently bought 30 sacks of well rotted goat manure, and while we pressed on with the ceiling boards in the bedroom, Panos and, intermittently, Dave, distributed them round the garden, ready for when we get a chance to clear around the trees and prepare the beds for spring.

 Manure spread, and cardboard mulch started, ready for woodchip

The panel rails ready on the roof.  Just waiting for Tomas the electrician to come.
