This has to be the funniest thing ever.Looking at you "What?" Bahahaha
I've hit the ground running this morning at 6am. Started packing up all the chicken stuff that I've been storing in my room until I can get the storeroom organized enough to put everything on the shelves. Then I organized all the boxes of presents that I need to wrap today. My room, after today, will go from a hoarding house to a regular room. My daughter was getting a little concerned when I didn't have much walk space. I have a lot of presents.The storeroom is workable. I can shift a few things around to get to the shelves. And next I'll work on getting the brooding area set up for my babies. They are on day 6 I think. (Eggs). I'm in the process of shifting all the 18 gallon totes that I store feed in out to the area by the coop. That will free up an immense space in the storeroom. And be a lot easier for me to get to when I make my fermented feed.
Folks, this is my year. It's all coming together. I've got the birds for my good egg selling on Ebay and BYC. I'm ordering 15 CX's and 15 Golden Comets from Schletch hatchery in late Jan for meat and a lot of eggs that I'm going to start selling. I'm in an area that will pay good for non GMO and no corn or soy eggs. The meat will be for my freezer, when I can get one. My plans this year are ambitious. I am going to hire a couple of high school boys to unload a bunch of straw bales and bags of soil for my garden. They can place it for me. Laying bags of soil lengthways and having two rows together will make a 3 x 9 bed. cut the top out of the bag and punch holes in the bottom and add fertilizer and start planting. I want 2 or 3 beds. The same with the strawbales. Two side by side x3 bales long will be be a 30" x 9' bed and I want 2 of them. By next year they will be ready to take the strings off and I'll have my handyman build me a 24" high bed. Stir the dirt/soil mixture down and add a lot of compost and I'll have me some of the most beautiful beds around. The soil grow bags can be turned out and a shorter bed built around them with a lot of compost added to them.
We have 4 new subdivisions being built within 5 minutes of me. I'd like to advertise during the summer to get customers for my eggs and cardboard beer flats filled with garden produce and a loaf of my artisan bread. Maybe $15 for eggs, bread and produce. What do you think? Too ambitious?
Pretty ambitious! Sounds like a good game plan! How are you going to keep fire ants out of your hay beds?
Hard to believe in just a couple more weeks I'll be starting tomato seeds for this year's garden. Looking forward to it!
I just can't believe she did all of that free hand. If I tried that it would look like a milk drink toddler did it! Haha!
