Purpose Driven Homestead 🌱

The foam I sprayed the other day cured completely so I was able to cut the bottom side of the rafters off to make it clean and flat for installing drywall next. I used a serrated insulation knife and it cut like butter through the foam.

With meat birds season starting to slow down a little, its time to start cleaning out brooders we used all spring and summer. We are small scale so we use big troughs for our brooders. Once the chicks are out on pasture I always dump the leftover wood shavings that were used as bedding, manure, and leftover feed bits out to the laying hens. They pick through the remnants and spread it for me and the manure and wood chips then help add nutrients to the pasture as they decompose. Just one more way we add back in our regenerative farm.

I haven't posted for a while now because there's been so much going on. Should be able to get back into the posting routine soon, assuming everything settles down some. In the meantime, I think this may be the final garden haul for the season. Maybe a few items here and there, but mostly done.
