Compost King
Free Ranging
I found a Vine Borer leave a hollow stalk on one of my Bok Choy. Thats it with the garden today other than plucking leaves to feed rabbits.

Some days that's all I feel like doing in the garden as well. That and tossing damaged 'maters to the ladies.Thats it with the garden today other than plucking leaves to feed rabbits.
Aged compost is the standard answer for soil amending. I use pine shavings in the coop and PDZ on poop boards that I clean every morning. The pine gets swept into the run as needed and the run is deep litter. The deep litter in the run gets added to the compost pile as it builds up. That poop gets added to the compost pile too. The plan is to turn the compost pile saving the oldest part on the bottom to add to my raised beds. Chicken poo needs some time to compost so you need to let it age and break down somehow.What else should I add? Also if I am using pine shaving in the chicken coop how would I collect poop for the garden? Baby chicks are 3 weeks now and will be going to their home soon. Good news is the rain does not seem to be hurting my seedlings I started inside. If it would stop for a day I would give them some of their fertilizer.
Hi Karen. I’ve been thinking of you and wondering how you’ve been but didn’t want to bug you. It’s good to hear from you! Glad you like the Rotel recipe, I’ll be sure to give it a try.I made and canned the Rotel Tomatoes that someone posted on here for me. They turned out really good! I also did a batch and a half of grape jelly from some of the grapes I picked a couple of weeks ago.
That was it. I need to water as we haven't had rain nor is there any forecasted.
