Chicken Run


This is a view of the top corner of the allotment, where we're planning to have the chickens. We measured out the run this afternoon, so we know how much chicken wire to get. Hugh helped us lift the roof on the chicken shed (it's been sitting on the straw bales for months, slowly warping in the wet, so it was good to finally get it moved).

More mulching is really all the news there is for this week: all the fruit bushes, apart from the raspberries, have had a good weed and mulch, as has the willow 'fedges' and dome.

I popped into Muddy Fingers yesterday to talk to Marv about the sign that we began on the Open Day last September. It's beginning to take shape as it's now at the glazing and construction stage. I can't wait to see it up on the allotment soon. We were also talking about the prospect of a fire-breathing wood oven/kiln dragon, so this could be the next addition to the 'lounge area' - watch this space!
