Show me your solutions for a muddy mucky chicken yard!

I have a local tree service coming to dump their chips. I need them for the gardens and, after aging, the run. The fellow from the tree service was happy to have a place to get rid of them without dump fees.

That's great!
Many folks don't have a good place to keep a big pile of chips......
...and the tree guys can go carte blanche and just keep dumping after you want them to stop.

Bookmarking for later. We've had so much rain here that the run hasn't had a chance to dry. We rented some equipment yesterday and was trenching our driveway for our culvert pipe, and dug a little further into the yard where there's a drainage problem, hoping to divert some of the water to the ravine... hoping the sun comes out long enough to dry up the yard

I suppose that happens. But this guy lives up the road and around the corner, and in our little town that wouldn't help his reputation one bit.

Sounds perfect...I am jealous.

The tree guys did haul away a load of stump shreddings before my wife reminded them that they didn't have to, but still got about a 5 yard pile that should work REALLY nice in the highest traffic/muckiest part of my run.

My 7 year old is loading the wheel barrow every day so I can go dump it into the run when I get home from work.

Boy, that brings back memories!
