What did you do in the garden today?

[Lazy Farmer]

Turkey proofed my Tomatoes and Bell Peppers. They reach pretty high. They are persistent at keeping me on my toes.

Thanks Yes they do! I put a scoop in each hole I dug for my peppers, I think it paid off.

The constant rain is causing the splitting. We've gotten nearly a foot a week.

We use a small handful of Goat Berries. Our Tomatoes have tree trunks without Miracle Grow.

Those will work too, I also have an end supply as I've got 21 goats currently. I'll be spreading composted manure in the fall before the cool weather crops go in. I might add worm castings too if the weather ever stays dry long enough for that to get decently dry.

We have 17 Goats. Their Stable area fills up with berries real quick. We snow shovel it onto our residents side of the farm casted evenly. It is small and sinks down to the root stems. Now that rainfall season is upon us, we have to mow twice a week. A deep dark green thick jungle. Plus no smell!!! No worries about toxic run off into our aquifer.

Awesome!

The rabbits do both for us. They mow and fertilize.

Dan I love your rabbit tractor! I kind of wish we could do that with some of ours.
But our dogs would shred it and have the rabbits for lunch.

I used to raise rabbits and I used rain gutters to direct their droppings straight out to my garden. My tomatoes were huge then and tasted fabulous! My sister in law asked me what my secret was & when I told her she laughed & said not to tell her hubby or he wouldn't eat them anymore! I loved having rabbit manure you don't have to worry about composting it before you use it. It doesn't burn the plants. Now that I have chickens my hubby said no rabbits. He thinks it should be one or the other.

I was amazed that on my rain gutter thread someone was sharing a post for 1 gallon of rabbit fertilizer for sale on ebay! hahaha
I tried to tell them to ask on some of their local farm pages to see who has rabbits close to them. I would let anyone who wanted some, come get what they wanted.
I have seen others on rabbit pages offer as much as anyone needs.

I'll have to see if anyone near me in Missouri has extra rabbit droppings I could come get. I loved what it did for my garden.
