When we say we are composting WITH chickens we mean we are composting WITH them. We decided we would have our chickens do the composting with us. We will do our part in digging the chicken pit (dont say that too fast), then they can work the composting pit and we will harvest all the goodness for our gardens.
Chicken manure is a great source of fertilizer for your garden. BUT you do NOT want to put it directly on your active garden beds. You need to give it time to break down. We have been looking for compost system that is right for us...have we found the perfect composting for us? MAYBE????
For years we enjoyed gardening, raising chickens, gathering eggs, raising pigs and enjoying our land. We got overwhelmed and ended it all. Since then we've thought things through and have decided to reinvent our little "homestead" if you will.
This time we plan to be Doing Things Different. We've started by naming our small farm Abundant Acres. What we don't know, we plan to learn and share our experiences...wins AND fails.
Take the journey with us and see some of our favorite parts of this adventure.
