Rabbit Dropping Fertilizer on the Garden

5/26/2015

Comments

 
Part of our commitment to self-reliance is we look for multiple outputs for each single input on our farm as a rule to decide if an input is worth our time and commitment. Rabbits not only serve us and our community on the dinner table but their dropping serve as incredible cold manure for excellent fertilizer. ​

Tornado and Flooding in Denton 

5/10/2015

Comments

 
We had a tornado touch down about 3 miles south west of us then lift up and keep its rotation then touch back down a few miles north east of us. It was scary and hectic. The difficult part was it was difficult to see because there was a LOT of rainfall that prevented it visually. As a result we got over an inch of rain in less than an hour. This video shows a lot of the flooding on our farm that resulted.

Roosters from Straight Run Batch 

5/6/2015

Comments

 
This is what happens when you buy straight run (non-sexed) chickens. You get some cockerels that make great dinner. Looks like we didn't have much luck this go around, thinking 4-5 roosters out of the 7 total. #FailureEqualsFeast #growyourown #backyardchickens
