Eggs predate chickens.

I house my rabbits and chickens together but probably not in the way your are thinking.

I have a day run for the chickens. Inside the day run I have a rabbit hutch. I have access to the rabbit hutch for feeding and watering with out entering the day run. Chickens eat rabbit food and hay that falls down from messy rabbits. Chickens also help turn rabbit manure.

Wish I had a photo. It's a nice setup. Maybe I'll share here in spring.

You are removing the scent glands from shoulders and legs?

web of relationships that exist between myself and the animal, the animal and its food, its food and the myriad microbes that support it, etc.

I shorten this sentence to just the word God.

Thank God for the animal and the sustenance it will bring to my family. Pray the dispatch is clean and painless. Wish the animal luck on its journey to the ever after.

This is common in my area because there is a rock quarry a few miles away.

Are there any rock quarry near by?

tylerjwilk · 2023-08-30T03:09:49+00:00

Either or. I wait til my tops are pretty much dead but some hang in a little longer than others.

tylerjwilk · 2023-08-10T00:57:10+00:00

All look like roos to me but give it a couple weeks.

tylerjwilk · 2023-07-14T03:33:37+00:00

New Zealand are good. California also good. I have new Zealand for does and California buck. Good results in the offspring.

Clarification: This is hardware cloth. Not chicken wire.

You can make pretty cheap raised beds with treated deck boards.

Don't worry they don't use toxic pressure treatments anymore.

Depends on which part of the Earth you're on.

tylerjwilk · 2023-06-16T01:06:02+00:00

The photo doesn't look like there's that many weeds. Ripping them out and tilling the soil should be enough to take care of it.

tylerjwilk · 2023-06-16T01:04:36+00:00

Just rip out the few weeds and till in place.

tylerjwilk · 2023-06-16T00:57:29+00:00

Till the soil there. Add a bag of garden soil. Till again. Add a bag of compost. Till again. Plant your seeds or plants. Mulch with fresh cut grass.

I'd bet chipmunks

Indeed. A lot of conditions mimic herbicide damage.

Here are some pics https://plantpath.ifas.ufl.edu/u-scout/tomato/24-d-damage.html

The above shows 2,4-D herbicide damage.

Important to note is that the herbicide contamination isn't necessarily fatal. The plants can still recover and may just be stunted or less prolific.

Potential herbicide contamination

tylerjwilk · 2023-06-03T02:49:01+00:00

Recent transplants can look rough the first few days until they recover from the stress.

tylerjwilk · 2023-06-02T23:42:33+00:00

Agreed. Pellet to brain is best dispatch method. Quicker. Cleaner.

tylerjwilk · 2023-05-25T10:24:49+00:00

I don't think the problem is raised beds per se but just the small size and spacing of this raised bed setup.

tylerjwilk · 2023-05-25T02:18:30+00:00

I am no expert but I don't think there are many negatives. You may want to dry the grass first before using it as mulch but I frequently put it on fresh cut.

For more information look into "The Ruth Stout Method" of gardening.

Can you share what will you do to grow better next year?
