What animals are you Gardening with?

TheNewBee it kinda looks like you are potty training your chickens to use the compost bin - that would cut out a few steps in cleaning up after them eh?

 

[TheNewBee]

wow that would be just wonderful, I could only dream of never cleaning poop from the coop again!!! lol

I knew I'd get great ideas from this forum about composting chicken poo!
Now I need advice on how to potty train the chickens...

I compost goat and chicken and turkey poo along with all the leaves and weeds and the lawn clippings from our yard and the neighbor's yard (too much for the birds to eat it all).

My three guineas do a fantastic job of patrolling for bugs. With them on patrol, this is the first year that my cukes have lasted for the entire season. Squash, too. The only pest they haven't managed to eat is the groundhog....

I use my hens for spring and fall tilling. To concentrate their efforts, I built my 2 hp tiller: http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1662&p=1

I don't use the riding lawnmower in the gardens, but it does a great job of trimming up the fencelines..... http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1661

Catalina,

Is that a Maine Coon? He looks so noble...what is his name?

(Your flowers and butterflys are stunning too.)

She's just a cat, but a sweetie! She is about seven pounds, so not a maine coon (I wish! They are so big and pretty)
Her name is Catty - actually it's Catalina - LOL

Sorry Catalina, "he" is a she!! Woops!

Catalina is beautiful!
