animal systems
Tim assembled most of the rest of the next chicken paddock over a couple of his work days earlier this week. first he had to cut back the long grass that had grown up in the meantime since I first started on the project, then he did a little bit of work rebuilding the frame work that I had half finished before throwing up the diagonal splits. It looks pretty good. Should be ready to run the chooks in by the time the watermelons have finished, and probably about the same time the area they are in right now will be ready to plant up. We were talking about doing an onion patch there at lunch today.
I spent the last couple of days planting up my birthday swale, and putting together the goat fence above it which will give us the capacity to move the goats around without tethering according to the weather, so that will be wonderful. We will finally be able to get them pregnant and start getting milk out of them, which will be a great thing.
Eve's cat got stuck down the big hole, so I had to get the ladder down there and climb down and rescue it. Serves me right for not covering it I guess.
