Mmmmm...yummy aphids!!!
I haven't taken a picture of the empty bucket that remains, but trust me, it's empty. In my laziness, I haven't removed the bucket, but the ladies are happily using it for dirt baths :-)
Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

That's a great idea. Our chickens dirt bath under our peach trees. It can't be good for the trees.
ReplyDeleteI've found that the damage the chickens do under the trees isn't too bad...it's the bulbs in the flower beds that pay for all that scratching!!!
