We are enthralled by Cottonball's cheeks! She's got poofs.
This week I am experimenting with composting dog p**p for soil for flowers and non-food generating plants. The goal is zero dog waste going to landfill while generating soil for native and non-invasive plants.

I haven't posted in a month or so, since I broke my wrist. (Yeah, I am that bad at ice skating.) But the wrist has been healing fast, and I finally felt well enough to get to work today, one day after my 50th birthday! Two and a half hours of hauling wood chips and building a compost pile and I feel tired and terrific.
I have so much wood chips! Here's how I have used them so far. I would love ideas on where else to use this wonderful drop!
Removing plastic tape from cardboard--even the thin stuff that breaks--is easy with one extra ingredient. (Spoiler: it's rain.)

YES! The answer to the problems we face is so clearly *not* everyone for themselves. It's community.

This lovely Australorp needs a name. She has a loud voice. If nobody comes up with something more creative, she is going to be Sheila. ;)

I ran outside because the chickens were making quite a ruckus... It turns out our little Australorp laid her first egg and she was singing at the top of her wonderful chicken lungs!

Today was all about wood chips. We're working on our second pile. Cardboard + wood chips seems so far the most effective technique for killing the grass. We also got several more planter boxes complete with repurposed wood from an old deck. Learning how to enrich the depleted soil comes next.

Saturday on the farm, we had some overripe bananas, and used fresh eggs from the ladies to bake up banana chocolate chip Blondies (scored 8/10) and simple instant oatmeal/banana/chocolate chip cookies (7/10). Not bad for new recipes!
