Composting for Spring


We're piling up the composted manure this week.  It's full of worms.  Cracker, Cruncher and Muncher are 3 very happy hens!  I have to admit, I have a hard time sharing garden worms with them, but there is plenty to go around. I shouldn't be stingy.  Anyway, the chickens do their part by spreading the compost around the garden.  Last fall they scratched through and spread out half of a small truck load.  We didn't have to touch it with a shovel.

    We have 3 chickens. They give us about 5 eggs every two days. My wife wants 2 more. We're always running out of eggs in the kitchen.
