For the gardeners in the group how to make drunken compost.
Interesting one and the Mrs said there must be a more natural way of adding.
So in a minute we came up with:
Ammonia-chicken poop (wet it and the eyes will water)
Cola-fruit scraps (natural sugars)
Beer-fermented sap (oh ya)
I'm looking forward to seeing how the big pile turned out.
Loader bucket load: 40-150 yr old manure/black earth
: Leaves
: Black earth
: wood shavings chicken poop
Repeated many times over over-covered with a black tarp for 6 months.
I didn't mix after the first time as the wild Black Raspberries grew up around the back of the pile so they are now in the freezer.
Also when picking the fruit the 5ft Black Rat Snake slithered out from under the tarp-she must of being using the pile to lay her yearly bunch of eggs.
So I didn't disturb the pile.
I have two other nesting piles for the Black Rat Snakes on the property. More snakes less other critters that want my crops and want to live in my buildings.
It's all a balance...
Just speaking with a permission that called me up on one of his properties-looking for a rail fencer (lost trade) He was commenting on the huge turkey populations eating the crops (corn)
1 acre of corn = 4 tons=$$$$ So the reasoning was: They shot all the Coyotes and most of the Foxes-now there's no natural predators so the balance is off. Yes he was....
On another note: The Bard Owl landed right across the road from the sunroom in the evening. Flew before I could get the camera out. 2nd visit in the past little while-wonder why?
Hungry/my chickens/knows there's moles/mice around the feeder-what ever the reason it's the first time in 8 yrs it has gotten this close to the house and just sat on the branch.
Only have seen 1 chipmunk this spring-thinking the Blue Heron really knocked them down this past year.
