Bird coop cleaning time!

Bird coop cleaning time! Removed all the bedding from house #4 (the first one to be built) and using it for compost and mulching. After 6 months of ducks and turkeys, it's time for a fresh start. Even so, the deep bedding seems to work: there were no bad smells.

The plantain tree prunings didn't go to waste

The plantain tree prunings didn't go to waste

The plantain tree prunings didn't go to waste. After shredding, we used them to cover the ground around the orange trees.

Added some #mulch to cover bare soil around the south #pond and started trying to seal it with #bentonite again. This time we're trying to add more clay on top of the bentonite, but digging up and transporting that clay is proving very tedious...

Tree planting time! Two macadamia and a passion fruit were liberated from their pots. Also took the opportunity to mulch the walnuts (although they didn't seem to mind not having it so far) and to replace a juniper that wasn't coming back to life. #treeplanting #macadamia #macadamiatree #passionfruit #passionfruittree #maracuja
