New project, working on self sufficiency. We are using a tub, pipes and food scraps to make a Soldier Fly Larvea farm that we will feed the chickens as they produce. On the sides of the coop I have planted vining vegetables that will grow on the coop to give them greens. Hopefully this will work, so that we no longer have to buy feed. ๐
Trying to be better about spraying for pest this year. They are already attacking my plants! ๐ This is a mix is a more natural pest control for your garden.
