 Hay delivery!
https://i.nostr.build/O4rR0.jpg
Hay delivery day! This hay should last our horses several months. As they eat it they turn the hay into fertilizer in the form of manure. We give our chickens access to the manure, which they scratch through eating fly larvae, reducing the fly pressure on the horses. Free food for them, and the action of their scratching turns the manure helping to compost it. I use the finished compost to grow our vegetables, subsistence crops, and cannabis. Hay is one of the most expensive inputs at the homestead but it's so much more than just food for horses.

 Love this! What a cool and natural cycle. I have some friends that have horses and chickens and I’m fairly certain the chickens don’t have access to the manure. I was visiting them last summer and the flies were awful. I will mention this to them. 🤙🏼
