Bone broth
The first thing I did today was start some chicken bone broth going in my instant pot. I set it up and let it cook all day.
Nothing to do
I didn’t have anything planned to do today so I chair hopped around the yard and eventually I found some stuff that needed done.
Helping some plants
There are a couple of plants that aren’t on the water system that could use some help to get them growing more. I did a peach tree that had volunteered from a seed and this grape plant I started from a cane.
First they got some fertilizer from the water can and then I put a sprinkler on them to give them a good drink and soak in the fertilizer.
Here’s the little grape plant that needed some help.
Cleaning out the grow pens
Next I decided to work on clearing out the weeds in this grow pen so I pulled them all up and fed them to the chickens.
Grow panel prep
I got most of the weeds down and now the ground needs to be turned over where I’m going to put the grow panel that is leaning on the fence there.
Helpers
I turned over the ground and then let the chickens in to do there thing to the freshly turned dirt.
Sky
Nice blue sky today.
Woodchips
I got a load of woodchip mulch for the spots I was digging in for the grow panels.
I did spread out the mulch and then turned the chickens into it to work it over and mix it up.
Chickens working
The chickens do a pretty good job of mixing things up and eating all the goodies in the soil.
Second grow panel prep
I also did this grow panel spot too. I got them prepped for seeding but didn’t get to that part today. Prepping those two grow panel spots took more energy then I thought it would so I didn’t get finished.
Getting some onions
After a good break I went over to my brother’s where he had his reject onions, the ones that went to seed, stored. I loaded up my box and took some back home to cut the tops off so I could use them to cook eventually.
I cut the tops off and fed that part to the chickens.
The rest went into the house ready to use in cooking things.
Nice day.
