The field is now completely enclosed with temporary fencing. Yay for
free grazing. I took a break from all the fencing projects to clear
out the deep bedding in the stalls and chicken coop. Last week I
started on the new chicken fence. I managed to get get 6 posts in the
ground, along with turning and planting the 8x8 raised bed with root
vegetables. I still have about 25 posts to put in for the chicken run, and then get the new wire up. Everything I've accomplished either has to be done with my
two little helpers or during nap time. It sure has revised my view of
what a 'big accomplishment' is for one day.
I was hoping to
purchase a rototiller this year, but decided that our little expendable
cash could be better budgeted to other expenses. For now I'm turning
everything by hand. Between digging up the garden and digging fence
posts my dislike for our rocky soil has grown immensely. This happens
every Spring, but luckily for me I have a little boy who loves the job
of removing rocks from the garden. In 5 years time I will have rock
free garden spaces I'm sure!
