The Potato’s are on their way to the Barn for a couple days, cool as the evenings are i’ll just cover them and leave a fan on of an evening.
Normally i’ll dig 80lbs from one of these beds, im guessing there’s at least 110lbs in the cart. I’ll weigh them once i bag em, some biggies in there too! I’ve been threatening to replace the Purple Moly’s with something less scab prone, hopefully i’ll get that done this year. They still eat fine but they sure are ugly. The Red Norlands are resistant and do well year after year.

And then this evening this slick young cow paid us a visit. Right now there’s still plenty to eat and the only thing that she seemed interested in was the Apple & Cherry tree; fortunately both are inside the chain link!
Lot’s of folks complain each year about loosing whole gardens to them, which i don't understand. It’s too much work and expense to not provide protection!

This is what garden fertilizer looks like before going thru “the Rabbit mill”! This is one years worth and once it completes the cycle (next year at this time) it will be very nice Compost and equally divided between the beds!

This year’s completed batch is seen in these 9ea - 32 gallon Brute containers, one for each bed. Perfect! They’ll winter here and get moved up to the garden in the spring.
You can also see, in the bin; this years Garden refuse, grass clippings and about 1 ft. of leaves. Thru the winter i’ll dump roughly 30 - 5 gallon bucket’s of Rabbit poop & spent hay in this bin and in the spring i’ll start turning it.
It’s perpetual, never ends and never goes away, always the same. Nothing leaves the farm and i pay close attention to any thing coming onto the place, Rabbit feed, soil amendments etc. making sure we stay Organic!
I like to tell people, “you can even eat the dirt”. 🫣
