could be heard here all day, as I spent the morning tilling the chicken paddock. we'll rig up some scrap wire for their next run and then shape up beds for the crop. the plan is to make a nice bamboo fence for the lower area, hopefully by the time we are next ready to move them. we seem to have gotten over the mites by the way. Lorinda did some cleaning in the henhouse today. You just have to stay on top of your fowl hygiene I suppose.
Greg came around midmorning and told me in so many words to snap out of my despondency re the truck. he had the belt for the chipper and wasn't even in a hurry to take the tiller as he had his mothers little car. invited him round tomorrow night for chicken supper.
after too long tilling the chicken paddock (and a nice midday swim in the hole nearest the highway) I went to chipping and shredding. reduced the two big piles of goat fodder prunings to one pretty good sized pile. It is nice stuff. I am tempted to use it on bamboo's and fruit trees but fear I will need to spread it kind of thin to hold dopwn cardboard edges of the new plantings...
killed two more roosters. talked to Donald about potential vehicle sharing. he may be into letting us use his 4wd jeep for farm work if we can find a trailer etc. He has saved my bacon a few times now.
