Sometimes you just want it done!

Eh, was just kinda on a roll, and I hadn't built anything in months so kinda geeked about it.

Coop cleanings don't cold compost very well or very fast. I'll let it sit for 4-5 days, then turn it every day, weather permitting. See if that heats it up.

What kind of bedding?
Might need water, a lot of water, to get it heated up.

Good morning Cafe and thanks for the coffee, LF.

That's a brave robin! We have one that nests under the wood shed roof every year. She's got her nest all jazzed up for this season but I haven't seen her in it.

The junco pair that was persistently trying to put their nest in the run last year are back. The decided the fern they nested in last year under the coop roof overhang will due nicely again this year. Except the fern is brown and dead and will be ripped out to pot the new fern in about a month! I won't be able to do that if they have a nest started. I may have to get another hanging basket for my second fern and move them to a different spot under the roof overhang.

I love to watch how busy they are this time of year wooing their partner and preparing the nesting sites etc.

Pine shavings, which I know take a while to break down. It was fairly moist as I dug down through the pile. It's getting some watering from the rain now!

Not sure called white shavings here does not take a long time to break down
