Today we begin the task of cleaning out the goat shed and we also take a look at the food forest tree rows that we have planted plus we introduce our new geese.
We keep the goats on a deep litter system - where we build up layers of straw in their goat barn. Every so often we need to clean it out and it's even more important to do so today as our goats are expecting kids any day now so we need to keep the barn clean.
I the past we have used the goat bedding to make compost or bokashi but today we are going to use it to mulch our forest garden tree rows/syntropic food forest rows. These linear food forests have apples, plums, Aronia berry and Saskatoon and will benefit from a deep mulching. We use the BCS, our walk behind tractor, to move most of the bedding but also use wheel barrows with the whole family helping.
We also show you our new geese which are the Toulouse breed and talk about why and how we use geese on a permaculture farm.
